[QUOTE="Jaguares, post: 649656, member: 63264"] McCaw critical of rusty ABs: Like it Thanks to a 78th minute Conrad Smith try, the All Blacks avoided their first defeat in 20 years at Eden park on Saturday, beating England 20-15. But Richie McCaw warned his team mates after the match that they would have to lift their game to take the series. "We were a bit rusty in the first half. Test rugby is a step up in intensity and pace and it felt like we were half a yard off it," McCaw said. English coach Steve Lancaster was forced to rest as many as 10 Test regulars due to club commitments, but a few replacements may have earned a starting spot for the second Test, such as the standout young flyhalf Freddie Burns.
