Moody: Determined

This is the last game of the autumn series and you always want to go out with a bang and we will be making sure we will be crossing every bridge to be there.

Lewis Moody insists England are determined to go out and prove their critics wrong at Twickenham on Saturday.

Few people are giving England much of a hope against the top-ranked All Blacks following disappointing displays against Australia and Argentina.

A number of former players have led the criticisms, while the Twickenham booed the England players during the 16-9 victory over the Pumas.

And although Leicester flanker Moody admits the side haven't performed to their potential, he claims the players will be doing everything they can to silence their knockers.

Moody said: "We would be the first people to say that our form last week wasn't good enough and we have to improve on that massively.

"We go into the game as underdogs but we will be chomping at the bit to try to put things right.

"The anxious energy is fizzing at the moment. When anyone is criticised you want to go back at them and show them why that's not the case.

"For us it is about being a team. It is about going out there and leaving no stone unturned on the pitch. You never question an England's team's effort.

"We have just got to go out there and put twice as much passion and pride on the line as we do normally.

"This is the last game of the autumn series and you always want to go out with a bang and we will be making sure we will be crossing every bridge to be there."
