Shaun Johnson has called upon his New Zealand teammates to play smarter ahead of
their Four Nations opener against England.
Swell Bottiglia Lento .The Warriors NRL star
also says he needs more support in defence from his Kiwi forwards ahead of the
clash against England in Huddersfield on Saturday.After their disappointing 26-6
loss to Australia in Perth two weeks ago, the Kiwis, desperately need a win as
they seek to retain their Four Nations crown.Halfback Johnson was heavily
criticised for his effort in the loss to the Kangaroos at nib Stadium, but he
was behind a beaten Kiwis pack.Now playing on British grounds that should suit
their forward-oriented approach, Johnson said the Kiwis need to sharpen their
approach.We have to mix things up. I feel we have the best forward pack in the
world we just have to learn how to use that in the best way, Johnson told
AAP.You saw (against Australia) when we got ourselves going, we got back into
the game.We just played a bit too straight up and down and let our big boys run
through the middle without too much shape.We just expected them to win the ruck
for us.But to be fair their middles played a bit smarter, with more width and
found things easier.We have to use the eyes a bit more, look to go wider a bit
more and look for the halfback, you know.Johnson was forced to make 34 tackles,
behind only Kevin Proctor (44) and fellow back-rower Tohu Harris (35) in the
Kiwis side.I found myself tackling a lot, it is hard, it is very hard, Johnson
said.Individually we have to lock that ball up and hold onto it.You can have all
the fancy game plans and all the fancy plays you want but if you are not holding
onto that ball you are going to get points put on you.Johnson did say new coach
David Kidwell had them on track after taking over from new Warriors coach
Stephen Kearney six weeks ago.The environment that David has brought back and
brought his own little touch on has been a really enjoyable one, he said.We are
away for a month and we need to enjoy our time in camp. We will keep feeding off
that. I know we are going to play some really good footy and learn our
lessons.We will play Australia again soon and we will have the chance to show
what we have learned.

. And when it opened, every player was at his stall. Thats a sure sign that a
team is in a slump and is searching for answers. "Its embarrassing to be at home
and play the way we did," said defenceman Josh Gorges.Leinster secured a PRO12
double over Munster and moved to the top of the table after a 16-13 victory at
the Aviva Stadium. Having already beaten their provincial rivals at Thomond Park
in December, Leo Cullens men took advantage of Connachts loss to Ulster on
Friday to move back into top spot with three rounds to go.Johnny Sexton was the
star for Leinster, finishing with all 16 points, but Munster fly-half Johnny
Holland also impressed in only his third PRO12 start. In front of a crowd of
43,108, Sextons timely touchdown just before half-time ended Leinsters
260-minute try drought in the league, and left Munster trailing 10-6. Reaction
from both camps after Leinster moved to the top of the PRO12 with a 16-13
victory over Munster at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday. Holland, who started
instead of Ian Keatley, had twice kicked the visitors in front before that, and
he brilliantly converted his own 47th-minute try for a 13-10 turnaround.But a
couple of assured place-kicks from Sexton, with Keatley missing his only attempt
of the night, had Leinster on the cusp of their first seasons double over
Munster since 2012/13.They had to survive a frenetic late assault on their
try-line, though, with Cian Healy in the sin-bin. Mike Sherry went closest for
the men in red but Jamie Heaslip and Ben Teo typified a Leinster defence that
would not yield. Sean Cronin on the charge for Leinnster Munster got off the
mark in the 13th minute, Holland slotting over a straightforward penalty after
Simon Zebo had knocked on a flat pass from Conor Murray just a few metres out.
Swell Scontate. Lineout issues spoiled
Leinsters attempts to respond, with Munster able to clear the danger in their 22
following an excellent steal by the lively Tommy ODonnell.Sexton opened
Leinsters account from the kicking tee with 27 minutes gone, punishing a
bloodied Donncha Ryan for not rolling away before the Munster lock was forced
off. Munsters Keith Earls makes a break A classy break from Rory Scannell
preceded Hollands second successful penalty, but Ryans replacement, Robin
Copeland, saw yellow soon after for Munsters third maul offence in their
22.Leinster took immediate advantage, pressing from a lineout drive
before man-of-the-match Sexton got outside Francis Saili to raid in from close
range, bouncing off the left hand post on the way. The conversion put four
points between the sides.However, Munster piled forward on the resumption, their
pick and goes proving very effective before Holland took advantage of a missed
tackle from Sean Cronin to score out wide on the left. Johnny Holland goes over
for Munster The Cork youngsters pinpoint conversion was cancelled out by Sextons
second successful penalty, two minutes later, as Leinster starlet Garry Ringrose
began to make inroads in midfield.Following Hollands departure near the hour
mark, Keatley was wide with his one and only shot at the posts and Sexton soon
sent Leinster back in front, rewarding Rhys Ruddocks accurate foraging at the
breakdown.Into the closing stages, Munster came with wave after wave of attack.
Luke McGrath lifted the pressure by winning a ruck penalty for the hosts, but
fellow replacement Healys no-arms tackle on Dave Kilcoyne left them down to 14
men for the final four minutes.Munsters well-drilled maul drew a kickable
penalty and they went for broke by going to touch, but Heaslips vital tackle on
Sherry, followed by a Teo hit that forced a knock-on, saw Leinster prevail in
breathless fashion.
