[QUOTE="Not Eddie Jones, post: 974329, member: 81025"] I haven't seen much mention of it on here, but as well as employing the blitz, England were very good at shifting suddenly into the drift defence when the situation required it, which meant they took away the touchline attacks from NZ. How many times did NZ try to go wide only to be bundled into touch or forced to cut back inside into the white wall? The ability of the England defence to read and react to what NZ were doing and to blitz or drift as necessary was excellent. We always talk about players playing what is in front of them, but that goes for defence as well as attack and England played what was in front of them on defence perfectly.:) [/QUOTE]
