We're not chokers, says Mitchell

New Zealand coach John Mitchell insisted his team were not "chokers" after they had blown their World Cup dream once more, and vowed not to resign.

He said: “We didn’t choke at all. That’s just a bit of a buzz-word that goes around. We just got beaten by the better team. They won the inches and were forceful in the breakdown. Our execution was poor and we did not deserve victory.
