Jonah Lomu believes there is little chance of the All Blacks coming unstuck in their quest for a first successful Grand Slam tour since 1978.

World champions England and struggling Scotland are the only countries that now stand between New Zealand and a clean sweep.

Wales and Ireland were despatched to the tune of 41-3 and 45-7 respectively, underlining the Herculean task facing England at Twickenham on Saturday.

“I do not think they will slip up,” said Lomu, assessing New Zealand from his new base as a member of the Cardiff Blues squad after joining them on a lucrative seven-month contract.

“This All Blacks side is going to get better, and the coaches are keeping everyone on their toes.”
