England rallied from 12-0 down with 25 unanswered points to beat a ragged New Zealand 33-19 for a first victory over them at Twickenham since 2012 and ending the All Blacks’ hopes of a tour Grand Slam.
Leicester Fainga’anuku and Codie Taylor punished disorganised England defence with tries for an early 12-0 lead but a barrelling Ollie Lawrence run and two drop goals from fly-half cut the deficit to a point at halftime.
Tries by Sam Underhill and Fraser Dingwall early in the second half put England 25-12 ahead but Will Jordan struck back for New Zealand to make it 25-19 with 25 minutes remaining and ramp up the tension.
But a Ford penalty took England two scores ahead and Tom Roebuck put the icing on the cake with a try three minutes from time after a crowd-pleasing dribble by Henry Pollock.
It was 10th straight win since February — England’s longest streak in nearly a decade — and was also the biggest yet in coach Steve Borthwick’s three-year reign.
