JONNY WILKINSON has urged England to fill the shirt and end a 21-year drought down under in New Zealand this summer.
Steve Borthwick's men are currently in Japan for a Test in Tokyo a week today before heading south for a double header against the All Blacks.
England would not have had a prayer against the Kiwis based on their early form in the Six Nations when they limped to wins over Italy and Wales and lost to Scotland in Edinburgh.
But they sparked into life with a stunning victory against Ireland (top) and a last-gasp defeat to France in Lyon which saw them head on tour with renewed belief.
Wilkinson said that looked England empty in those first three games before building into the shirt in the last two rounds.
