Steve Borthwick says England are still heading in the right direction despite their frustrating 2-0 series defeat in New Zealand. The head coach believes his squad have won the respect of their opponents and silenced numerous Kiwis who warned him the All Blacks would comfortably sweep his team aside.
England were unable to protect second-half leads in both Tests but Borthwick has been encouraged by their progress and is looking forward to facing the All Blacks again at Twickenham in November.
