After the capitulation in Auckland, acting England manager Rob Andrew raised the temperature over Saturday's return here.

Rule breaker: New Zealand All Black captain Richie McCaw under fire from England

'I'm going to give Richie McCaw an England shirt so he can come in from the right side,' he said by way of euphemistic reference to the flanker's masterful negotiation of the off-side line.

Far from killing the Kiwis with kindness by praising the explosive athleticism of their superior back-line, Andrew lobbed a few more jibes in their direction, questioning why Welsh referee Nigel Owens was in the All Blacks hotel prior to last week's Test and mocking them for being World Cup chokers.

'It used to be said that we were very good at peaking between World Cups,' said Andrew.

'Maybe we've passed that baton on.'

England will be without giant prop Andrew Sheridan for the second Test after catching a stray stud so close to his left eye that he needed 10 stitches to repair the eyelid.
