Martin Johnson 'unfazed' by New Zealand threat

16/09/2010

Martin Johnson has no concerns over New Zealand's ability ahead of their encounter with England in the Investec Internationals.

The All Blacks will take to the field against Johnson's men on November 6th 2010 in England's first of four Tests against southern hemisphere opposition.

New Zealand looked in ominous form in this year's Tri-Nations tournament, winning all six of their fixtures and scoring 184 on their way to winning the title.

Despite this, Johnson has insisted England should not be worried about the Investec Internationals clash.

"I'm not fazed by what I've seen in the Tri-Nations, but what I've told the players is that we have to get back to Test match intensity from the start," he asserted.

Earlier this week, Gloucester and England prop Paul Doran-Jones told RFU.com the side must improve their consistency if they are to fare well in the Investec Internationals.

"They will be four tough games," the front-rower stated.
