New Zealand vs England LIVE!
England agonisingly lost by just a single point in their First Test against the All Blacks in Dunedin on Saturday. Damian McKenzie’s two second-half penalties after Immanuel Feyi-Waboso’s try had edged the tourists back in front sealed a narrow 16-15 triumph for New Zealand in their first match of 2024 and first under new head coach Scott Robertson.
New Zealand had taken an initial lead under the closed roof at a sold-out Forsyth Barr Stadium after an opening try from wing Sevu Reece, with reigning World Rugby Player of the Year Ardie Savea also crossing in the corner after Maro Itoje had hit back for England from close range. Both fly-halves experienced tough days from the tee, with Marcus Smith hitting only two of his five kicks as opposite number McKenzie also struggled.
The two-match summer series will conclude next weekend at Auckland’s Eden Park - where the All Blacks have not lost now for some 30 years. England, meanwhile, still have not beaten the All Blacks on New Zealand soil since 2003. Follow New Zealand vs England reaction live below!
