• Watson has no grudge with Sonny Bill Williams after 2017 Lions• ‘I was never too fazed by the All Blacks’ mystique’
Anthony Watson says he is convinced
England can beat
New Zealand on Saturday and end the All Blacks’ quest for a third successive
World Cup triumph. The Bath wing was part of the
British &
Irish Lions squad which held New Zealand to a drawn series in 2017 and is adamant his country can also achieve something special in the semi-final this weekend.
Watson, who has been outstanding since regaining full fitness and reclaiming his place in England’s starting XV, rates the reigning world champions highly but says Eddie Jones’s squad do not feel inferior to their opponents.
