In the history of the game, not many people win in New Zealand.
Martin Johnson, England captain
It is just a great night for us. The defence was the best I’ve ever seen and that’s down to guts, and that is why we won it Clive Woodward, England coachWe said: ‘Let’s crack ‘em. Let’s not fold.’ Johnson on his team talk after the All Black tryIt’s an amazing feeling. We can move on with a bit more confidence now to next week and what comes later in the year. Neil Back, England flankerWe would have liked to play a bit more rugby, to be honest. I took a call on the sin-bin, because I thought they would get seven points Obviously the referee thought the same. People say we play 13-man rugby anyway – and we did it very well.
Lawrence Dallaglio, England flankerI’ve felt better – it was a tough game It’s going to take a while to settle in We strangled them a bit up front Graham Rowntree, England propA bit of guts, a bit of grind It’s been a fantastic week. Phil Vickery, England prop and captain of team who beat the Maori on MondayWe had our chances. On a windy night the pack did a good job, but we’re not using the wind as an excuse We had a lot of ball, but England had some great defence. Reuben Thorne, All Black captainIt will be psychologically fantastic for England. We don’t play them often enough, and you want to play the No 1 side in the world as often as possible. John Mitchell, All Black coachThey know that they will get better than this But so will we Johnson. Well, now we know for certain that England can lift the World Cup in November.
