England vs New Zealand: Epic Rugby World Cup victory over All Blacks in 100 amazing pictures
Eddie Jones’s side will now play the winner of Wales vs South Africa in next weekend’s World Cup final
England produced one of their greatest-ever displays to storm into the Rugby World Cup 2019 final with a 19-7 victory over New Zealand that reduced the reigning champions to a rabble.
From the moment Manu Tuilagi crossed after 97 seconds an extraordinary match beckoned and the final scoreline did little justice to the domination of Eddie Jones’ men, who were superior in every single facet of the game.
New Zealand had won their previous 18 World Cup matches dating back to 2007 but at International Stadium Yokohama they were flattened by a juggernaut led by the unstoppable Maro Itoje.
England will face either South Africa or Wales in next Saturday’s final and having crushed the odds-on favourites to win the Webb Ellis Trophy, they will be expected to repeat their solitary triumph of 2003.
