England's bid for a rare win over New Zealand faces a stern test at Twickenham on Saturday. The All Blacks have dominated their opponents in the past, with just eight wins in 46 matches. England's last victory came in 2012, and their most recent win was a dramatic semi-final victory in the 2019 World Cup. According to prop Fin Baxter, who has lost three times to New Zealand this year, a selfless approach is crucial for England's success. 'Being selfless' means putting the team's needs before one's own, often resulting in 'pain and suffering.' Coach Steve Borthwick agrees, emphasizing the importance of endurance and mental toughness. England's recent wins over Australia and Fiji have given them momentum, but they face a tough challenge against a New Zealand side that has already defeated Ireland and Scotland this month. Veteran fly-half George Ford will lead the team, with his exceptional tactical skills and communication abilities being key to England's success. Baxter praises Ford's ability to convey complex strategies to the team, saying, 'George is so brilliant at communicating to the team about the bigger plan.' England's players will need to draw on their mental reserves and put in a team effort to overcome the All Blacks and achieve a historic win.
