Gareth Widdop talks up England hopes of series win over New Zealand

England stand-off Gareth Widdop has declared that he and his teammates are "confident" of getting the job done in the series decider against New Zealand.

A 9-2 victory for the Kiwis at the Olympic Stadium on Saturday afternoon ensures that it is all to play for heading into the third and final Test next weekend.

The pressure has been building on England to claim a first series win over a Southern Hemisphere nation in eight years, and Widdop admits that it is now make or break for his side.

"We will not listen to any outside people this week - it's all about what we need to do," the Daily Star quotes him as saying.

"We are certainly confident. You cannot go into a game not confident otherwise you would not win. The next game is do or die and we will be working very hard in training this week to make it right."

The final match in the series will take place at Wigan's DW Stadium.
