Chris Robshaw: 'England have to be at top form against New Zealand'

Robshaw: 'England must be on top form'

England captain Chris Robshaw has claimed that his side must not allow any mistakes to creep into their game against New Zealand on Saturday.

The All Blacks have been victorious in the last four meetings between the two sides, but Robshaw is certain that the hosts can come out on top if they are at their best until the final whistle at Twickenham.

"We've seen our gameplan can work, and does work, against them at times," the England skipper told reporters. "But unfortunately since we beat them in 2012, we haven't been able to reproduce that for the full 80 minutes.

"It's about everyone doing their job to the best of their ability, in every single moment.

"You cannot switch off, because they are probably the most clinical side in world rugby and they tend to take their chances."

England's last success against the All Blacks was a 38-21 triumph at Twickenham in 2012.
