In his final column of the season, Stuart Barnes says that smart rugby is the way forward for England.
It was not the defeat that should disappoint England fans -- after all no side has won at Eden Park since 1994 (remember that French try "from the ends of the earth?") -- but the nature of the English performance.
New Zealand expected a physical challenge and for twenty minutes that was what a typically powerful English pack delivered, but once the All Blacks upped the pace this team had little to offer other than endeavour.
