England must look to smother New Zealand, says Mehrtens via SABCNewsOnline

England faces the holders at Yokohama hoping to improve their record of seven wins in 41 meetings and Mehrtens believes Eddie Jones’s men can prevail with a simple plan.

“How do you do that? You slow them down at the tackle … you build yourself up for a massive defensive effort to come up fast and smack them in multiple tackles and not let them go forward. Mehrtens said England would have to swap fluidity for a tactically sound effort when they have the ball. “Beat them up and smother them. While it may get called ‘smothering’, no one cares if it works … this is not about providing a spectacle. It is about getting results.
