New Zealand winger Mark Tele'a scored the decisive try as the All Blacks came from behind to edge England in a dramatic Test match at Twickenham on Saturday.

Saturday's reverse was particularly tough on fly-half Marcus Smith, who kicked 17 points and grabbed the interception that led to England's lone try through winger Immanuel Feyi-Waboso. New Zealand made wholesale changes to the team that launched their tour with a 64-19 thrashing of Japan last week as several first-choice players returned to the starting XV.
Beauden Barrett's conversion put New Zealand 14-6 ahead before another Smith penalty cut the deficit.
