One of England's top rugby writers has likened the All Blacks to sprint legend Usain Bolt. And he believes the rest of the rugby world must have a long term aim of adopting some All Black attitudes if they are to stay within reach of the world champions. But while England coach Eddie Jones claims to be annoyed because "everyone tries to copy New Zealand", Kitson said "it would be churlish to to suggest the All Blacks have nothing to teach their pursuers." "Common sense would suggest there is at least a thimble of wisdom these free-wheeling, modern-thinking All Blacks can offer the rest of the world. "(Jones') England team will not be taught to run until they can walk, which is a slightly sobering assessment of the second-ranked team in the world.
