England handed New Zealand their only defeat of the year, dominating the world champions on their way to a convincing 38-21 victory at Twickenham.
The home side took a 12-0 lead into the half-time break thanks to the trusty boot of flyhalf Owen Farrell, and showed good composure to deal with two quick All Black tries at the start of the second half.
With a slender 15-14 lead, England suddenly turned on the style and quickly ran in three tries of their own to take the game by the scruff of the neck.
It has been a long year from the All Blacks and it showed in a somewhat lethargic display, but they will still be bitterly disappointed at stumbling at the final hurdle against England who recorded a record victory over the world champions.
