· 4 pulledIt was victory for England against New Zealand in Tampa, Florida.
A glorified training session played in searing heat.
As always with these England friendlies, I struggle to understand why anybody bothers actually going to watch in person.
I understand the need for such warm up matches ahead of a tournament but for me they should just play them behind closed doors.
