HIGHLIGHTS | ENGLAND V NEW ZEALAND | AUTUMN NATIONS SERIES 2024

Jamie, stay behind. Advantage, tackle off the ball. That's the voice of Marius Jonker, our TMO, so the voltage here for England. Free ball, effectively, here comes Swede. Ball's available. Got the advantage. Double figures on the face front for England, and George Martin drops the ball, but always with that advantage. Tackle off the ball. Rattema, to the shorter side, and Setiti again. Brilliant offload. He's not just because of his power and his footwork, but he's got among the best hands on the field. He is an absolute diamond of a ball handler. He goes outside Friedman, forces Furbank to close in on him, and still gets the ball away. That leaves Taliyah a one-on-one with Geng. He's always going to have the pace, and even if Geng gets a hand, it's going to be a last-second grasp, and he's going to have the power to stay in field, work off that touchline, and slide in for the first score. Will Stewart, driven back. Strong challenge from the skipper, Barrett. Marcus Smith, looking for the drop-goal attempts. They're rising stars, back to the short side, they come, and through the middle, goes Geng. Close that gap, and it's the late, sweet round from Bowden Barrett that causes all the problems for England, and leaves a gaping hole for Will Jordan to find. Stay in your channel, don't start chasing things, because once they start to move you, they can really open you up. Three seconds. Losing every last one of them, Bowden Barrett, but to very good effect. In the right sort of areas, at least, with the clock deep in the red. Cunningham South, tearing forwards. Spencer, back for Smith, and the drop-goal is not pretty. He shuts him down early. Here's Satiti again, targeting those soft shoulders, wherever they are. Storming into the 22. Trouble here for England. Get three, undo the rest. Yeah, Rotima passes blind, doesn't he? Where's the deliberate knock-on? They've got to go back for the penalty, surely. Gaining a wide view now, are you happy that it is a deliberate knock-on? OK, so let me explain. It is a deliberate knock-on. Back through the middle they go. Play on, shoulder to shoulder. Yep, that's fine. Leonard Brown tries to lay it up. Roy guards. Sotosi. Ramos tight. Taji stole it. Brilliant steal from Mario Taji. No problem for McKenzie. And the Kiwis still very much in the hunt. Close exchanges. England penalised for not releasing the tackle. Player McKenzie holds it. George Ford, who's in the outside channel, not 100% sure whether to drift on Tolea early or to hang with his inside defender. He hangs, he backs off, and that just gives all the aces to Tolea and the power of that man. George Ford.
