Another hard fought win for the All Blacks see them still unbeaten in 2013. The mighty number one team in world rugby had to fight hard in the last 20 minutes at Twickenham, where they were beaten a year ago by the same England.
It took the New Zealanders only 17 minutes to accomplish a lead of 14, with the score at 17-3. Although things came easy for them during the first 30 minutes of the game, England managed to claw their way back into the game valiantly and the teams went into the break with the All Blacks only 20-16 ahead.
The second half was a close affair with both teams fighting hard for possession and it was England that got their noses in front 22-20 with about 20 minutes remaining. It even seemed as if England was going to repeat their 2012 win, but All Black wing, Julian Savea managed to score his second try (18 tries in 19 tests) close to the end of the game to ensure a deserved, but battling victory to the men in black. They now boast a record of 13 in 13 for 2013.
Did you watch the game? Who did you root for and why?
