Match report: England 22-24 New Zealand
David Nicholson  at Twickenham
New Zealand

NEW ZEALAND won a pulsating Test match at Twickenham on Saturday after ill-discipline from the men in black had kept the home side in the game.

But with the crowd roaring behind England on in the closing minutes, Mark Telea scored his second try in the corner to bring the scores level. Up stepped Damian McKenzie to kick an almost impossible conversion to take a two-point winning lead.

England captain Jamie George had talked about pressure moments and expected his side to beat the All Blacks.
