England vs. New Zealand: All Blacks Start Strong, but England Fights Back

The national anthem formalities out of the way, it’s time for the Haka. There’s been some noise about this in recent days after Joe Marler’s controversial comment that it’s “ridiculous” and “needs binning”. Of course by controversial I mean boring, unoriginal and been said about 5.7 million times before. He’s since apologised saying it was out of context, although quite how it could be given it was the only thing written in the post, and that post was on his own X feed. Patently nonsense. Anyway, the haka happened here and it was great theatre and brilliant as always. The crowd responded by singing an slavery related song – which is an interesting choice. Meanwhile, back at the actual game the teams are on the field and it’s anthem time. “I enjoyed The Game (1997),” says Conor Galaska, “though it is a minor work in David Fincher’s filmography. It uses a weirdly common twist in movies too, which undercuts a lot of the film’s earlier tension.” Expect a similar situation when the All Blacks score a late winner after looking out of it for most of the match. Pre-match reading Ugo Monye would like England to show a bit more, if possible. Get in touch via email or the X and tell me your thoughts on the game or The Game, the 1997 Michael Douglas film, if that’s more your thing. Steve Borthwick is a consistently sensible man and this is reflected in his “as you were” selection; something that is his hallmark of late. Injury keeps out Ollie Chessum, meaning George Martin partners Maro Itoje in the second row while Tom Curry continues his return from injury as he’s selected at openside. There’s a 6-2 bench which features a return for Nick Isiekwe and Harry Randall. For the visitors, Beauden Barrett is trusted to bring his cocktail of experience and outrageous yet sensible talent to the 10 shirt, where he partners Cortez Rataima in the halves. Damien McKenzie is among the replacements. England George Furbank, Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, Henry Slade, Ollie Lawrence, Tommy Freeman, Marcus Smith, Ben Spencer; Ellis Genge, Jamie George (captain), Will Stuart, Maro Itoje, George Martin, Chandler Cunningham-South, Tom Curry, Ben Earl Replacements: Theo Dan, Fin Baxter, Dan Cole, Nick Isiekwe, Ben Curry, Alex Dombrandt, Harry Randall, George Ford New Zealand Will Jordan, Mark Tele’a, Reiko Ioane, Jordie Barrett, Caleb Clarke, Beauden Barrett, Cortez Ratima; Tamaiti Williams, Codie Taylor, Tyrel Lomax, Scott Barrett (captain), Tupou Vaa’i, Wallace Sititi, Sam Cane, Ardie Savea Replacements: Asafo Aumua, Ofa Tu’ungafasi, Pasilio Tosi, Patrick Tuipulotu, Samipeni Finau, Cam Roigard, Anton Lienert-Brown, Damian McKenzie Welcome the the SponsorNameDome here in Twickenham for the curtain raiser of the Autumn International 2024 series for England as they take on the not currently as mighty as they used to be but still probably mighty enough New Zealand. If one were to view this fixture as the final match in the three test series that started in the summer down in Aotearoa, then for the All Blacks this is a dead rubber given they won both matches back in July. However, England will know how close that mini series was and recall the agony they felt flying home so there’s nothing dead about this game for Steve Borthwick’s men. New Zealand will want a win to see a smoother improvement trendline than has so far been evident under the Scott Robertson regime. The home side have seen developments in their attacking game in the past 12 months, and if this season’s Premiership season is anything to go by then the ball will be flung about all the circumspection of a Liz Truss budget. But the game is also played without possession and this is the first outing for England since the controversial departure of defence coach Felix Jones. It was a tight affair a few months ago between the two nations and we can expect more of the same here, methinks.

New Zealand's Scott Robertson era got off to a flying start with a pair of Damian McKenzie-inspired victories over England in the summer, but following three defeats at the Rugby Championship – two at the hands of South Africa and a shocker against Argentina – the honeymoon period is over. In response to England’s tendency to fade late on, Steve Borthwick has established his own Bomb Squad, naming a 6-2 split on the bench. The decision to start Henry Slade, however, is a risk, with the center having recently returned from shoulder surgery.  Here's where to watch England vs New Zealand live streams online and catch the Autumn Internationals 2024 action from anywhere.

Despite it feeling like a lifetime, it's only been three-and-a-half months since England played New Zealand in a pair of tests in July.  Those matches were electric, and All Blacks won both of them (you can watch them free here and here. There is also a YouTube embed below). England have not played a test match since then. But New Zealand had a full slate during the Rugby Championship, taking second-place in that competition.  Now, it's time for Autumn Nations, or as Southern Hemisphere teams call it: the Northern Tour.  FloRugby will not be broadcasting Autumn Nations 2024, but you can subscribe to watch Champions Cup, United Rugby Championship and Super Rugby Pacific for the 2024-2025 campaign.
