Damian McKenzie struck two late penalties as New Zealand kicked off the Scott Robertson era with a narrow win against England in Dunedin on Saturday night.
The All Blacks held their nerve in a brutal defensive contest for a tense 16-15 victory during which both teams scored two tries, extending their winning run on home soil against England to eight matches since 2003.
McKenzie was timed out when lining up a third penalty attempt in the dying stages but England failed to score from the final play. Skipper Jamie George said his side will take confidence into the final Test in Auckland next Saturday. England flyhalf Marcus Smith missed an early penalty before All Blacks winger Sevu Reece opened the scoring with a try after fielding a McKenzie cross-kick.
