England blow as George Furbank misses second Test versus New Zealand
By PA
England have been dealt a blow on the eve of their second Test against New Zealand after George Furbank was ruled out of the Auckland showdown by a back injury.
Furbank was singled out as the tourists’ dangerman by opposite number Stephen Perofeta earlier in the week but his late injury setback means his cutting edge in attack will be missing at Eden Park.
Freddie Steward replaces Furbank at full-back in his first appearance for England since February 10 when he started against Wales in the Six Nations.

Nope. The Boks vs AB's rivalry is over 100 years old. Ireland's rivalry is a baby compared to it. This rivalry barely started. Give it another 90 years, with the Irish continuesly a big threat. Until then, the Irish is just coat tail riders trying to make money from a non existent rivalry.
