Overview
- England has struggled to maintain leads, losing their last three Tests against New Zealand despite being ahead in the final quarter.
- Tom Curry insists that the players, not coach Steve Borthwick, are to blame for the team's late-game collapses due to a lack of discipline.
- Key issues identified include conceding penalties in the final 20 minutes, which disrupts field position and limits attacking opportunities.
- Borthwick has faced criticism for his substitution timing, but Curry maintains that the onus is on the players to perform consistently.
- Australia, England's next opponent, has also faced challenges under coach Joe Schmidt, losing five of their last six matches.
