Former All Black loose-forward Zinzan Brooke says he fears the possibility of a semifinal between the All Blacks and England in the Rugby World Cup.
Brooke who played 58 tests for the All Blacks has told The Rugby Paper a clash between his old side and England at this year's Rugby World Cup would be too tough to call.
For this to happen, the All Blacks would need to beat Ireland in their quarterfinal on Saturday and England would have to defeat the Wallabies.
Brooke believes the current All Blacks team is not of the same quality as the All Blacks side that won the Rugby World Cup in 2015.
Looking at the Rugby World Cup quarterfinals this week, Australia will face England at 7.15pm this Saturday, All Blacks will play Ireland at 10.15pm, Wales will take on France at 7.15pm this Sunday while Japan will face South Africa at 10.15pm this Sunday.
