England's international season began on August 5th in Cardiff and concluded last Saturday in Auckland, leaving a sense of deja vu in the air.
Similar to their performance in Dunedin a week prior, England showed resilience in the first half, rallying before and after halftime to gain momentum and challenge for a historic victory. However, they faltered in the final quarter as New Zealand's bench made a crucial impact.
For England supporters, how should they interpret the 2-0 series defeat? Was it a tour that demonstrated Steve Borthwick's team is progressing positively, or a significant chance missed?
"It's absolutely both," remarked captain Jamie George, who led the team with distinction on his inaugural tour as captain.
