England may have lost their series in New Zealand 0-2 but coach Steve Borthwick was beaming with pride for how his young team handled the pressure of playing the All Blacks at the end of a mammoth season.

Traditionally, ex- England Coaches, for decades, have been cocky, far too under the influence of over promise, under deliver. Steve Borthwick is finally a Coach for England who is real, passionate and doesn't deliver over expectations for his Team. Pride always cometh before a fall. What I really like about Steve is he's a) a Northerner b) never sets his Team up for impossible expectations c) this English side, under his guidance believe in themselves and finally d) they respect NZ, our fans, the Country and the AB'S. Well played England, you've gained supporters Globally as a result of your mighty efforts. Do not in any way feel disheartened, there is still all to play for and build on, just the same as the AB'S will. Thank you all for finally realising, when you take on my Country of just on 5m people, with roughly the same land mass as the UK with roughly 69m People, our Rugby is hugely important to us, and I live in the Highlands of Scotland. Very well played Steve, you've hit just the right note.

Steve Borthwick is proving himself to be pretty effective. I've said this before, but Rugby is a game of three essential variables: power, pace and precision. The All Blacks have always had all three in spades. Occasionally England could match them for power, or sometimes pace, but precision has always been lacking. For the first time in recent history England have raised their precision levels to All Black level. England made hardly any errors in this last very intense test. It's great for the sport in general and the AB's still have the edge when it comes to playing strength in depth. Only the Springboks have a similarly strong squad. I'm really looking forward to future matches like these last two with genuinely competitive sides battling it out.
