The England coach believes consistency, rather than creativity, is the way forward for his under-fire players "It's been a tough week, I can't deny it," Martin Johnson said yesterday, giving some hint of his response to the criticism that has poured down on his England team this week. "We live in a world now where it's all instant. As players and coaches, that's what we have to deal...

• Twickenham looks for more adventure from England • Dan Carter's battle with Jonny Wilkinson will be key The weather forecast is miserable and England are battening down the hatches.

Martin Johnson's team were never going to overwhelm Argentina so any win against New Zealand would do very nicely Sorry, but I'm mystified at the fuss. What did people expect? England, minus a hatful of first-choice players, lost to Australia, but then again the rankings say the Wallabies are the third best side in the world. Then England beat Argentina and in that respect you could argue that they...

• England's Kiwi-born hooker ready to make No2 shirt his own • 'All Blacks see me as an Englishman. I'm happy with that' You can take the boy out of Rotorua but there are limits. As Dylan Hartley contemplates a reunion with his compatriots at Twickenham tomorrow, the Kiwi-turned-Englishman openly admits the sight and sound of the haka "still makes the hairs on my neck stand up"....

The New Zealand boss is the only top 10 coach to have led his team in the 2007 World Cup. Is rugby changing for the worse? When Graham Henry sits down with Martin Johnson after tomorrow's international between England and New Zealand at Twickenham to enjoy a beer or glass of red wine, one topic of conversation between the pair will be the way rugby has become like football with coaches taking part...
