The All Blacks are facing off against England tonight in the first test of 2024 . 

It’s Razor’s first test at the helm, and fans are buzzing to see how his team fares. 

The English have named a strong team in their bid to spoil first test. 

Piney caught up with English rugby writer Daniel Schofield to discuss how the team’s looking to get the better of the Men in Black. 

He told him that England is coming out of the Six Nations with quite a bit of momentum, and they’ve got settled combinations and a quiet confidence.
