Dan Carter: A Perfect 10 will hit New Zealand cinemas on August 29. Clips from the trailer indicate that viewers can expect to hear from a host of rugby experts, including former All Black captain Richie McCaw, former England first five Jonny Wilkinson and one of Carter’s replacements, Beauden Barrett.

The feature-length documentary promises a deep dive into the first five’s life, starting with his early days in the small town of Southbridge, to his provincial, Super Rugby and international careers.

With Stephen Donald’s The Kick releasing in 2014 and the new Jonah Lomu film also due to hit small screens in August, could we be seeing the start of the All Blacks Cinematic Universe?

'Absolute madness': Clive Woodward rips into Borthwick in wake of NZ loss

Borthwick is supposed to be the archetypical conservative coach, the guy that might not deliver a sparkling, high-risk attacking style, but whose teams execute the basics flawlessly. And that's OK, because it can be really hard to beat teams that are rock solid and consistent in the rugby equivalent of "blocking and tackling".


But this is why the performance against NZ is hard to defend. You can forgive a conservative, back-to-basics team for failing to score tons of tries, because teams like that make up for it with reliability in the simple things. They can defend well, apply territorial pressure, win the set piece battles, and take their scoring chances with metronomic goal kicking, maul tries and pick-and-go goal line attacks.


The reason why the English rugby administrators should be on high alert is not that the English team looked unable to score tries, but that they were repeatedly unable to close out a game by executing basic, coachable skills. Regardless of how they got to the point of being in control of their destiny, they did get to that point. All that was needed was to be world class at things that require more training than talent. But that training was apparently missing, and the finger has to point at the coach.


Borthwick has been in the job for nearly two years, a period that includes two 6N programs and an RWC campaign. So where are the solid foundations that he has been building?
