JAMES HASKELL: England must ignore Haka and New Zealand hype and focus on themselves

Daily Mail  

It made me laugh on Monday when I recalled All Blacks lock Brodie Retallick being asked about the time he referred to Courtney Lawes as 'Michael Lawes'. James Haskell has urged England not to worry about the Haka or hype around New Zealand Haskell says England have better lineout than New Zealand and must use it to their advantage Haskell also believes England are superior in the scrum and have the quality to cause a shock All hell would have broken loose if the boot was on the other foot. Follow the game LIVE: https://t.co/z0BgdPH0sf #RWC2019 #NZLvIRE pic.twitter.com/bmAGSnAlIV — Rugby World Cup October 19, 2019 New Zealand's athleticism and natural skills make them arguably rugby union's greatest side They're obviously a special team but I truly believe England can beat them if they get their heads right. New Zealand's tries often come from superior hand skills down the line - England must be wary They also have joined-up thinking between clubs and country, which helps. And they need Maro Itoje getting over the ball, making New Zealand work for four or five seconds at every breakdown because if you don't slow them down, you're in trouble.
