ENGLAND 25-25 NEW ZEALAND

at Twickenham

ENGLAND committed grand larceny at Twickenham on Saturday as they clawed back 19 points in the last 10 minutes.

The All Blacks had been rampant for 70 minutes with their forwards dominant at the set piece and in loose play.
The home side were trailing 25 points to six when England finally came to the party and played.

Fly-half Marcus Smith threatened to break the try line with a darting run with nine minutes left on the referee’s watch.
