    What a year it has been for English rugby league. World Cup 2021 is still three years away but optimism is building nicely. Disappointment today but so many positives in this series.

    New Zealand head coach Michael Maguire on BBC Two: "It was one we needed. The boys have really put in over the last six weeks and worked hard for a result like that. This group has really grown, it's the first time we've been together.

    "We did the things we said we were going to do. I was really pleased the boys came together and put a lot of pressure on England.

    "I have got a really big belief in this group. I think we have got something special, some real passionate young men."

    We have made huge strides this year and to lift a trophy against a fantastic New Zealand side is important. Don't forget the Kiwis beat Australia four weeks ago.

    Former England forward on BBC Two

    England must keep learning. They tried to stick with what made them in the first two Tests, and New Zealand really controlled the game. They played with a control and composure they showed against Australia four weeks ago.

    It's great for international rugby, but a poor result for England.

    England winger Tommy Makinson on BBC Two: "It's been a special series. We have bonded like best mates but today we weren't at the races and the Kiwis came for us. But it's a great series to win.

    "They have been close matches but New Zealand showed their class today and were at their best but sadly we weren't."

    New Zealand captain Dallin Watene-Zelezniak on BBC Two: "Our fans and families deserve that. It's good to get one win over here.

    It needed a performance from New Zealand with their own confidence and their own culture.

    The 2017 World Cup did a lot of damage to the New Zealand Rugby League brand. So this was important.

  12. 'We instilled some pride in the jersey'published at 17:18 Greenwich Mean Time 11 November 2018

    England 0-34 New Zealand

    Man of the match, New Zealand's Kodi Nikorima on BBC Two: "We were disappointed to lose the series, we really wanted to come here and get the win for everyone at home. I am extremely proud of the boys.

    "We completed really well, there were a few errors early on and I spoke to Shaun (Johnson) and we knew we had to get back to basics. It shows when you complete you can play off the back of that.

    "I trust my instincts and that's what I did tonight. To get the win tonight instills some pride back in this jersey.

    "We're still a fairly young side. If we can keep building and getting our combos together, everyone stay healthy and fit, New Zealand rugby is looking up."

    Solid defence from England as they dig dip to keep the Kiwis at bay from close range in the corner.

    Kodi Nikorima has been involved in everything good New Zealand have done. He has been brilliant. He's created tries and scored one.

    England might have won the series, but New Zealand have restored a little pride with this performance.

    A bit of a humbling for Wayne Bennett's side.

    Could have been different if those close calls went their way...

    Jonathan Davies

    There's very little between the top three teams internationally. The difference is England's pack is big and strong and if they can build on that an get the creativity out wide they can beat anyone on their day.
