It was the morning of the match and even though I had always been highly arrogant of wanting to be captain, I wondered if a match against New Zealand was a bit of a high threshold for me to prove myself to England.
Shit, I had seen what Edward went through when we lost a match. He would be ripped apart more than anyone else and I was obviously a contributing factor. Rugby was an unforgiving sport and I had put a huge target on my back for always speaking utter rubbish.
The preparation for the game was intense and Edward and I spent hours rewatching their games trying to figure out a great strategy. Their defense was a big thing we had to overcome and I wanted by all means to keep the game on their side of the field. Achieving that would be the true test.
