Win is McCaw's priority
RICHIE McCaw leads New Zealand into today's clash with England at Twickenham insisting the All Blacks will always prioritise results over entertainment.
Graham Henry's side have beaten Australia, Wales and Italy so far on tour but are frustrated at their inability to put a side to the sword.
With New Zealand's football team qualifying for the World Cup, the All Blacks face competition for the hearts and minds of the nation's public. An all-action performance England tomorrow would nudge the All Whites off the back pages, but McCaw insists scoring tries is secondary to winning.
"People enjoy watching entertaining rugby, they love to see lots of try scoring and we like to play like that," he said. "Sometimes it can be physical with not many opportunities but, at the end of the day, we want to win the game, that's all you can do.
We don't want to chuck the ball about because it looks good, we want to win."
