Welcome to the Quick Tap. I'm Charlie Morgan, the Telegraph's Senior Rugby Writers today. I'm joined by

none other than England and Saracen's fallback of 2019 European Player the Year of my old mate.

It's Alex Gude. Yes, we are, mate. And I guess we're still friends after all those crap

asses you threw me on my toes and the scars that I've got to show for it. And how often you told people that before they'd even met me.

So yeah, appreciate that.

Yeah, I'm a nice bloke, as you know.

But anyways, over the next four weeks, we'll be diving into a lot of detail about England's

performances, how they win, how they lose, how things pan out.

And where to start?

Will we start with kicking things off with their match against the

all blacks if you're watching on youtube do us a favor hit the like button any thoughts or comments

you have we'd love to hear them but don't forget to turn on your notification bell for the good

the bad and the rugby channel before we dive in we've got to give a big shout out to our sponsor, Continental Tires.

There are go-to for premium tires, prioritising safety, performance and grip.

So buckle up and enjoy the ride.

Let's start by getting stuck into the atmosphere.

After a week where there had been grenades thrown back and forth from either camp,

starting with somebody who wasn't even in either, 23, Joe Marla. It was enough to fire up Scott Barrett who said that England had loaded the gun.

How good was the hacker though? In England's decision to march forward in unison that got everything sparked off.

I think any time New Zealand turn up at Twickenham, the atmosphere is at another level.

Everyone's excited, the noise, the energy around the place.

It is so special and playing those games is unbelievable.
