New Zealand head coach Michael Maguire said: "It is disappointing to lose the series but they are a growing group, and each day I see them come together stronger. We need to take the lessons from these two matches and bring it together into one performance.

"Every Test match is important and we are representing the Kiwi people so what more do you want?"

Richie Myler agreed to cancel a family holiday to Dubai after being given the chance to replace World Cup scrum-half Luke Gale in Wayne Bennett's 24-man squad for the autumn internationals.

Myler won his seventh cap in the opening game against France, six years after his previous England appearance, and earned the praise of Bennett for his part in the 44-6 victory.

Today he gets his chance in the Test series.

"It was disappointing because I thought I had a decent game against France but I also thought two days before that that I would be on holiday," Myler said.

"I only came into the squad at the last minute and, if you look at the team and the dynamic of that right side with the Wigan connection, I think that is where he was aiming to go anyway.

"And they have been phenomenal. The side has gone really, really well, I think that's the thing.

"At this level, there's that much quality and obviously the boys that have played have been outstanding. You can't knock that.

"With it being three games, I hoped I might get a chance of playing in the last one. "It's unfortunate for Sam that he's injured but I'm chomping at the bit and can't wait to play."

England head coach Wayne Bennett said: "You can't enjoy the last victory all week and we came back to training on Wednesday. Everybody was switched on again.

"We are not trying to send a message to the rest of the world we are trying to send it to the fans in this country that they have a team they can be proud of.

"We lost so many players after the World Cup through injury, but they have come together well and they have played some great football."

Kevin Sinfield's own contract with the RFL is up at the end of the year but he is set to continue in the part-time role with the blessing of Leeds, where he is director of rugby.

"I'd love to stay involved," he said. "I've really enjoyed the last two years and am happy with the progress we've made.

"My contract is up at the end of the year but it's not an issue. There is an appetite for both sides to continue.

"I think what's important is we get Sunday done in the right way. I think in the past as Englishmen, our mentality would be 2-1 is acceptable, but now it's not. It's got to be 3-0.

"If we are to be where we want to be in 2021, we have to win games when the pressure isn't quite on as well as when the pressure is on."

And Kevin Sinfield expects Wayne Bennett to stay on as England coach for the 2021 World Cup after starting to enjoy himself during matches.

The 68-year-old Australian succeeded Steve McNamara in February 2016 on an initial two-year contract and signed a new two-year deal with the Rugby Football League after guiding England to the World Cup final last December.

"Wayne is really enjoying his time working with England, I think more than he expected to," Sinfield said at a 2021 World Cup briefing in Leeds this week.

"We are now starting to see him smiling at games and he's enjoying himself.

"Wayne has done an outstanding job, he gives belief and confidence to the players, who absolutely love being in camp. He has an aura about him.

"The plan for all the teams was to make two-year appointments and review at the end of 2019 which we will continue to.

"I can see him staying on until the World Cup. What is important is we carry on progressing and, for us to be in the right position for 2021, we have got to keep on improving on the field."

It has been a fantastic series. England are unbeaten this year off the back of a great World Cup. 11 debuts have been handed out during this series and if you look at the calibre of player that are missing at the minute, it just shows the quality we have available moving forward.

England will emulate the 1993 Great Britain side which went unbeaten in five Tests in a calendar year if they complete a clean sweep on Sunday.

"It's really important," Bennett said about finishing 2018 on a high.

"We're trying to build something. Good teams are consistent - they turn up every week and get the job done - and that's our challenge here, to play at the standard we've set.

"We won the first two games by two and six points so there's not much in it. If we get beat and we've done well tomorrow, I won't be disappointed."

Tommy Makinson has gone from the depths of despair to the top of the rugby league world.

His Golden Boot award- recognising him as the World International Player of the Year - is the culmination of a stellar 2018 that has seen him burst onto the international stage with three eye-catching performances for England.

He scored on his debut against New Zealand in Denver in June, put on a dynamic defensive display in the first Test against the Kiwis two weeks ago and followed that up with a hat-trick of tries against the same opposition last week.

His performances, according to England coach Wayne Bennett, have put him "in a league of his own".

Winning a personal accolade like this, I guarantee Tommy is a humble guy, so he'll thank everyone around him for what they've done for him.

But, ultimately, on those dark mornings in St Helens, when it's raining and he's re-habbing a real bad lower limb injury, there is only one person to attribute his success to and that's himself.

He'll never accept that, but that is where it's come from. His character and his actions, from his own standards for himself which he's been setting for years.

England coach Wayne Bennett was unsurprisingly not impressed by their comments.

He called the view "only from people that are ignorant and haven't watched the last three Test matches".

"I'm not surprised, they get paid to make silly statements," the Australian added.

"If you don't know what you're talking about, you shouldn't talk about it, it's very ill-informed."

But that didn't sit well with ex-Australia internationals Brad Fittler and Greg Alexander.

"I thought it was ridiculous. It belittles the award," Fittler said.

"I can't believe the best player in the world is a person I've never seen play."
