My main concern from that game is that England will think that style of rugby is the way forwards.
It's not a style that can win a World Cup though in this day and age.
We need some serious progression.
I'd say the tactics were chosen for that specific match. why wouldn't you kick a lot when you had a height advantage over both wingers and a player like Freddie Steward who can beat anyone in the air? I doubt very much that Borthwick would have done the same again if we'd made the final with the size of NZ's wingers.
