The All Blacks escaped from the jaws of defeat this morning as they held on to beat England 24-22 at Twickenham Stadium.
England flyhalf George Ford had the chance to steal the game in the dying stages but missed two crucial opportunities, one of which was a drop goal in front of the post at the stroke of full-time.
All Blacks winger Mark Tele’a was the toast of his side scoring two tries, one of which was the winning try that was converted by super sub Damien McKenzie.
