Intro:

New Zealand number eight Kieran Read and winger Julian Savea preview this weekend's Autumn international against England.

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Kieran Read, New Zealand number eight (on facing England and potentially facing them in the World Cup next year):

"Perhaps for some people there's a lot on this fixture and probably more so in their eyes. For us, we want to go out there and play well this week and we'll be in good shape come 12 months, 10 months time to have a crack at the World Cup. I think it's important for both teams really that they play well on Saturday. For us we want to win so that's out focus."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Julian Savea, New Zealand winger (on preparing for England):

"You know, we always have our game plan and we say all the time that we've just got to execute our moves, our structures. We respect England and what they're going to bring but it's more about us and what we need to focus on during this week."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Kieran Read, New Zealand number eight (on whether England have improved in his time as an All Black):

"I think their mindset has changed perhaps. They're certainly more willing in recent times to have a decent crack with the ball - they've got some really skilful players now that perhaps they didn't have a few years ago. I think they're wiling to actually use those skills which is probably a difference from a few years ago. Yeah I think they've certainly improved their game. Probably since when I first started it was a more physical game. And I don't think that's really changed in terms of how they still approach it. They've just got a nice well-rounded game. They're a decent side."
