England will aim to seize opportunities against All Blacks - George Furbank

England fullback George Furbank insists that his side will look to seize on the opportunities as they face the All Blacks in the two-game Test series starting in Dunedin on Saturday.

Even though, England haven't won a Test against the All Blacks in New Zealand since 2003, they managed to beat them in the semi-final of the 2019 Rugby World Cup encounter in Japan and followed it with a draw in Twickenham in 2022 in the previous two encounters between the teams.

England started the year with a third place finish in the Six Nations tournament in which they suffered defeats to France and Scotland but started their summer tour with a convincing win over Japan. A victory over the All Blacks will be a huge morale lifter for Steve Borthwick's men and Furbank is relishing the opportunity to take on the 2015 World Cup winners.

"There's definitely a sense of seeing opportunities and then backing ourselves to take them," said Furbank, who will start at fullback for the weekend's game.

"We've got a very exciting young backline who want to be able to do that and the coaches have fully bought into that as well.

"We've got some very good and accurate kickers and some wingers who are pretty happy going and getting the ball back in the air. That's a big strength of ours that's clear to see.

"We've added some really good layers on to our attack as well. We've got a better understanding now as a group of where we want our attack to go and what we want our attack to look like."
