For England, it has become a familiar feeling. For the third time this year, Steve Borthwick’s side let a game slip from their grasp, squandering a golden opportunity to secure a rare win over the All Blacks as George Ford missed twice with his boot in the final minutes.
After Mark Tele’a’s brilliant finish and Damian McKenzie’s superb touchline conversion nudged New Zealand ahead, Ford was handed a first chance to snatch victory from the tee as Anton Lienert-Brown was penalised for a high tackle.
