All Blacks captain Read and his men will have looked on with a mixture of emotions, but fear was unlikely to be among them. After Gardner declared the game over and the Springboks players' heads sagged with dismay, a thrilled England coach Eddie Jones couldn't contain his excitement. When asked about the upcoming test against the All Blacks, Jones responded in the only way he could. Teams want to measure themselves against the best in the world, he said, and England will get their chance against World Rugby's top-ranked team. If Farrell is cited for his tackle on Esterhuizen it could leave England without arguably their most influential player.
