All Blacks coach Steve Hansen has attempted to crank up the pressure on England and his counterpart Eddie Jones by citing the team’s pool stage exit at the 2015 World Cup.
Jones said this week that New Zealand will have ‘pressure chasing them down the street’ ahead of their semi-final meeting on Saturday but Hansen, aiming to steer the All Blacks to a third consecutive World Cup, believes there is plenty of pressure on England too.
