England beat All Blacks 33-19 at Twickenham

England 33-19 New Zealand, Allianz Stadium

England came up with a spirited second half fightback as they secured a 33-19 win over the All Blacks at Twickenham on Saturday.

This was 10th consecutive win for England and the first win for the side against the All Blacks at home since 2012. Ollie Lawrence scored a first half try for Steve Borthwick's side while Sam Underhill, Fraser Dingwall and Tom Roebuck went over in the second half. Leicester Faingaanuku, Codie Taylor and Will Jordan touched down for the All Blacks.

The visitors opened their account in the 14th minute when Leicester Fainga’anuku muscled his way over the line but Beauden Barrett's conversion drifted wide to provide them with a 0-5 lead. They doubled their lead in the next three minutes as Quinn Tupaea floated a long pass from Codie Taylor to dot down. Barrett got the conversion right this time as New Zealand raced to a 0-12 lead.

England responded back in the 24th minute when Ford and Olly Lawrence combined to go past Leroy Carter with the latter touching down. The fly-half drifted the conversion wide making it 5-12.

England suffered a setback as Freddie Steward failed a head injury assessment and Marcus Smith replaced him. At the stroke of half time, Ford kicked back to back drop goals to ensure the teams were separated by just one point at the end of the opening half.

New Zealand's momentum was further dented early in the second half as Taylor was yellow carded for punching the ball out of Smith's hand and England immediately capitalised on the numerical advantage as Alex Mitchell combined with Sam Underhill, who forced his way over the line and Ford kicked the extras to make it 18-12.

England had a try turned down in the 50th minute by the TMO as the backline was offside but five minutes later Lawrence sent a deft pass for Fraser Dingwall to touchdown for his second Test try and Ford followed it with the conversion to make it 25-12.

England were down to 14 players temporarily by the 64th minute as Earl was penalised for side entry and All Blacks came back hard with Will Jordan going over and Damian McKenzie's conversion brought the gap down to six points.

With five minutes left in the game, Wallace Sititi was penalised for an infringement allowing Ford to slot a penalty goal making it 28-19 before Tom Roebuck's try in the 77th minute sealed them a 14-point victory.

England will be taking on Argentina in their next encounter while the All Blacks will lock horns with Wales.
