Woodward, who coached England to the 2003 Rugby World Cup title, also praised the All Blacks as a team that's showing "proper rugby is alive and well". Woodward also commended the All Blacks for the way they played during their 39-0 thumping of the Pumas. "All of a sudden, the All Blacks became popular again - 'let's hope the All Blacks can save rugby'. The All Blacks will take on the Springboks in back-to-back Rugby Championship tests on September 25 and October 2.
