England’s long wait for a win over the All Blacks in New Zealand will extend by at least another week after they were pipped by a solitary point in Saturday’s absorbing First Test in Dunedin.
Two second-half penalties from the boot of fly-half Damian McKenzie were ultimately enough to see New Zealand claim a tense 16-15 victory in their first match since that agonising loss to South Africa in the World Cup final in Paris in the autumn and their first under the leadership of new head coach Scott Robertson.
