Steve Borthwick says England’s discipline will have to improve if they want to beat the All Blacks in a two-Test series in New Zealand next month. The touring team frequently impressed with ball in hand in their 52-17 victory over Eddie Jones’s Japan but they also had Charlie Ewels shown a red card, for the second time in his England career, lost Marcus Smith to the sin-bin and conceded 17 penalties.
Ewels, the first Englishman to be sent off twice in Tests, faces a probable ban that would rule him out of the New Zealand series and necessitate a replacement being called up.
