\u201cA lot of teams sit back in awe of the All Blacks and their incredible history and their incredible players,\u201d said former skipper George, who came off the bench to score one of England\u2019s six tries against Fiji.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s easy to do that and I\u2019ve done that in the past,\u201d the Saracens hooker admitted.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve also got to be very aware that we\u2019re back here at Allianz Stadium [Twickenham]. We\u2019re very proud of playing here and we are going to do everything we can to win.\u201d<\/p>\n

World champions South Africa may have just retained their Southern Hemisphere Rugby Championship title but George is in no doubt of New Zealand\u2019s quality.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve got to be at your best because they\u2019re not just another team,\u201d he said. \u201cThey are arguably the best team in the world at the minute. They\u2019ve got world-class players.\u201d<\/p>\n

George added: \u201cWe\u2019ve got to come up with a clear game-plan that\u2019s going to put them under as much pressure as possible and then go out and execute it perfectly because that\u2019s what we\u2019ll need to do to win.\u201d<\/p>\n

England\u2019s winning streak is a sharp upturn after seven defeats in 11 games in 2024, including five in a row and three in succession at Twickenham.<\/p>\n

They also lost three tests against the All Blacks last year<\/a>, albeit by a combined deficit of just 10 points.<\/p>\n

\u2018Next level\u2019 Arundell<\/p>\n

Steve Borthwick is set to name his side on Friday (NZT), with one of the decisions confronting the England coach concerning whether he starts Henry Arundell.<\/p>\n

The Bath wing, like George, made a notable impact off the bench, albeit with a searing burst of acceleration that led to a 69th-minute try that finally gave England a measure of control against a competitive Fiji team.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old was the first to reach Marcus Smith\u2019s grubber-kick, outpacing two flying Fijians in Kalaveti Ravouvou and Sireli Maqala before prodding the ball ahead and touching down.<\/p>\n

England scrumhalf Alex Mitchell, no slouch himself, said: \u201cIt was crazy and we see it in training every week. It just makes everyone else look really slow. Marcus and the Fiji boys are rapid as well, but Henry\u2019s at the next level.\u201d<\/p>\n
