Lomu: I'm still looking for the perfect game
We are not trying to look the best out there, we're just trying to get the job done.
Man of the match, Jonny Wilkinson
We don't have a complex about Jonah [Lomu]. He has caused some mayhem for England in the past, and it was right up there today. Some teams seem to handle him better than we did today.
Martin Johnson, England captain
I don't think I proved myself. This is a three-week tour and it's all about form, week in week out. I'm still looking for the perfect game, the complete game.
Jonah Lomu
You cannot give away the ball like we did. When we kept it, we looked a good side, but you cannot play unless you keep hold of the ball.
Clive Woodward, England manager
When we get quick ball then we look dangerous. We were looking to compete at the line-out but we weren't sharp enough, and we didn't do enough competing on their ball. I thought that Lewis Moody was one of our real stars. He was sharp on the ball, and carried it well.
Andy Robinson, England coach
We set high standards and nothing will change because of this result. Some good steps were made out there by a lot of individuals. We played some exciting rugby but it's about winning.
John Mitchell, New Zealand coach
We could improve dramatically if we are brutally honest. We probably only played half an hour of good rugby, but we have beaten the All Blacks
