Josh Lewsey has told head coach Andy Robinson that England must adopt New Zealand's bold style of rugby if they are to stand any chance of defending the World Cup in 2007.
The All Blacks have taken an unassailable 2-0 series lead over the British & Irish Lions and Graham Henrys men have carried the international game onto the next level in doing so.
Lewsey believes New Zealand have sparked an attacking revolution and has warned Robinson to act quickly.
New Zealand played a style of rugby that proves it pays off to be bold and it reminded me of the way England played four years ago when we were the most imaginative side in the game, the full-back wrote in Mondays Evening Standard.
That takes time to develop and I have spoken to England head coach Andy Robinson about what we have experienced.
I want to bring that back and work over the next two years leading into the World Cup defence in France to have the mindset to have a crack from anywhere on the pitch.
We have been given a lesson in modern rugby by the All Blacks. What they [New Zealand] did was pretty simple - keeping the ball and performing with skill under pressure.
It wasnt particularly new but it showed the benefits of having that approach for 80 minutes. Fortune favours the bold.
