Maro Itoje set his sights on world champions South Africa cursing a blown opportunity and asking why England can still only play in patches. The Saracens star admitted to mixed feelings over the New Zealand draw, saying: “We are happy with the comeback but it feels like we could have done more.”
He expressed frustration at England’s growing tendency to only get their act together when they are points down, in this case 19 of them.“To be honest it kind of feels like an opportunity missed,” he said.
“We didn’t get out of the blocks and left it until the second half where all the pressure was on us to finally be free and play the type of rugby we want to play.
