After waiting almost 17 months, New Zealanders will finally get to see what All Blacks rugby looks like under new head coach Scott Robertson when New Zealand faces England in the first of two tests at Dunedin.
FILE- New Zealand ’s Scott Barrett takes the ball in a line out during the Rugby World Cup final match between New Zealand and South Africa at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, near Paris, Oct. 28, 2023. New All Blacks head coach Scott Robertson has chosen Scott Barrett as his first captain, to lead a 32-man squad he named Monday in tests against England and Fiji.
Through that period in which the Crusaders dominated domestic rugby, fans had a chance to assess how Robertson operates as a coach, how teams under him play, what might be his style. England has been unashamedly confident about its prospects on Saturday while New Zealanders have been diffident. Captain Jamie George says England is ready to beat the All Blacks in New Zealand for the first time in 21 years, based on their most recent results against the All Blacks — a win and a draw — and the example of the 2017 British and Irish Lions who drew their three-test series in New Zealand.
