After a second narrow defeat in a row to New Zealand this summer, England captain Jamie George gathered his crestfallen team-mates in the middle of the Eden Park pitch.
“Listen, I know you’re going to be heartbroken at that,” he said. “I know I am. I’m gutted. We are so close to doing something special. So enjoy your break, get away, have a good time. We get back together in November and we play these guys again first up. Let’s make sure we have that in the back of our minds all summer.”
