Tour from hell tag riles Rob

Jun 22 2008

ROB ANDREW denied England had been on a "tour from hell" to New Zealand after suffering a crushing 44-12 defeat to the All Blacks.

New Zealand's Dan Carter did the damage once again yesterday with the No.10 bagging 22 points for the second time in two games as England lost the Test series 2-0.

And if the two defeats weren't bad enough the England camp spent last week denying sex assault allegations made against four of their players.

But Andrew insists he can still take positives from the trip. The coach said: "This was not a tour from hell by any stretch of the imagination.

"We wanted to learn about our younger players ahead of the autumn internationals and we have done so."
