LONDON (Reuters) - England have learned the lessons from two narrow defeats in New Zealand in July and are better placed to turn around their dire home record against the All Blacks when they meet at Twickenham on Saturday, says assistant coach Kevin Sinfield.

England really should have won the first test in Dunedin before slipping to a 16-15 defeat and were ahead in the final quarter of the second at Eden Park, but again lost their attacking threat and went down 24-17.
