[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 843745, member: 72205"] Would you back NZ to win 3 games away in 2 weeks to Australia. I'm not entirely sure they would TBH despite beating Aus 3 times last year it wasn't quite the feat England managed. Anyway the streak has nothing to do with being the best team of all time, I'm fairly certain the current England and NZ sides would struggle against any of either nations World Cup winning squads. Winning games is about building a sides confidence loosing the odd game here and there can actually contribute a lot of games. Look at the period between 1999 and 2003 England lost their fair share of games even in 2002 and a warm up game in 2003. Those loses helped shaped that side into the emphatic world cup winning side they became. NZ players have been on the record saying the loss to England 4 years ago spurred them on. There is no shame in losing its a nice record to have but you ask the England players which record really matters at the weekend they'll probably say the back to back grand slams. [/QUOTE]
