‘England still catching up to All Blacks’

Eddie Jones reckons England are still 7% behind the All Blacks.

England's thrilling win over Wales this past weekend saw Jones' team extend their winning streak to 16, now just two behind the All Blacks' world record of 18 consecutive tier-one Test victories.

In terms of their improved fitness, self-belief and never-say-die attitude, England continue to boast all the attributes that have made the All Blacks so successful.

However, Jones told Britain's Sunday Times that his team still had some way to go.

'We are 7% below New Zealand. When you have got a good team sometimes you get beaten, but you don't get beaten. That's when you know you have got a good team. Today we were never going to get beaten.'
