Get ready for the Michael Cheika revolution: The former Australia coach is the latest man to come through the revolving door at Leicester Tigers

Leicester's spit-and-sawdust training ground and no-nonsense methods have been a source of significant pride at the club and a fundamental part of their success over the years. But as she sat at Oval Park earlier this month, Tigers chief executive Andrea Pinchen had a very clear message for everyone associated with the organisation she heads up. 'Finishing eighth isn't what Leicester is about,' Pinchen said, calmly but clearly.
England can take comfort knowing they have taken great strides in New Zealand, writes CHRIS FOY

CHRIS FOY: Before heading to the airport for their 12,000-mile journey home, England's tour party took a ferry to Waiheke Island to enjoy lunch overlooking the Hauraki Gulf and sing a few songs. After being on the go for 13 months, it was a deserved opportunity to relax and unwind together, come to terms with another frustrating, jarring defeat and reflect on everything they have been through in the course of a marathon season. It didn't end how they wanted it to, but given where they were last summer, England could take comfort from the sense that they are on the up. So much has happened during a campaign which begun last June, when Steve Borthwick named his training squad for the World Cup. Not long after that, the national team appeared to be in a state of disarray following another two-wins-from five return in the Six Nations. They lost at home to Fiji, which wasn't an ideal send-off for the global showpiece, amid grave concerns about their physical condition and their defence in particular.
England have a real chance to reverse rugby history against New Zealand... they are better prepared than ever and gallant failure should no longer be accepted, writes CHRIS FOY

CHRIS FOY IN DUNEDIN: England coaches and players often say they don't like looking back, but they are well aware that Saturday's momentous task is to reverse rugby history - and are convinced that it can be done. Why not? It has already happened, before this series against the All Blacks has even begun. The tourists are fit, ready, acclimatised, well prepared and confident, not weary, weakened, resigned and besieged. It is a total contrast to so many previous visits to this far-off, forbidding enemy territory, where England have only ever won twice; in 1973 and 2003.
