England vs New Zealand: Red Roses deliver against world champions at Twickenham

The Telegraph  

England 24 New Zealand 12 It comes to something when a comfortable triumph over the world champions brings a dash of frustration, but that is where England find themselves – at the summit striving to sustain their own standards. John Mitchell, the England head coach, had no doubt over the day’s major lesson: “When you’ve got your foot on the throat, finish it.” In truth, we will not be able to judge these Red Roses until next year when they host the World Cup and bid to avenge their gut-wrenching loss at Eden Park two years ago, when the Black Ferns beat them 34-31. That victory, sealed by a spectacular line-out steal from Joanah Ngan-Woo, extended New Zealand’s record against England at World Cups to six wins from six meetings. Ultimately, four tries proved enough this time to hold off New Zealand, who moved the ball with ambition and gave their hosts a thorough work-out in warm sunshine.
