LET'S ZEAL THE DEAL

England ace Underhill: You don't get too many chances to topple the All Blacks... we must not waste this opportunity

- ADAM HATHAWAY

SAM UNDERHILL has urged England not to waste the chance to knock over the All Blacks as the opportunities don't grow on trees.

The Bath flanker was part of the last win over the Kiwis, a 19-7 World Cup semi-final victory in Yokohama in 2019.

Since then the sides have met only once, a 25-25 draw at Twickenham in 2022, and England have not toured New Zealand since 2014.

In nearly 10 years England have faced New Zealand just three times but get two cracks at them this summer in Dunedin on July 6 and Auckland a week later.

Underhill said: "You don't get shots at them very often and they are a mark of where we want to go to as a team.

"It shows how good they are. You don't get too many chances and when you do, and you do well, people remember it.
