00:00 I must start with probably paying a lot of credit to England.
00:05 I thought they were outstanding on the night.
00:07 They had a very good tactical plan
00:10 and they really put us under a lot of pressure.
00:13 And it's something that we will have to go and have a look at
00:16 and we will have to improve in terms of that.
00:21 For if New Zealand decides to maybe use the same tactic.
00:25 But it took us some time to get to grip with it.
00:30 But yes, I think that's probably the strength of this team
00:37 is that they find a way to, even if we don't play well,
00:42 even if our things aren't going our way,
00:45 they find a way to get a result.
00:46 And it took them probably 70 minutes to get into a position,
00:51 to get a foothold in the game.
00:54 But the one thing, they just refused to give up
00:59 and they fought to the end.
01:02 So very, very proud of that.
