God Defend New Zealand - an underrated national ditty for me, some proper Mariah Carey-level vocal gymnastics required to cover the octaves, some fruity brass, a big soprano finish. Seven out of ten.

God Save the Queen next. The effects mic gets a little too close to some of the England players, revealing plenty of volume, if a little less key.

Andrew Priestley: England are traditionally very hard to beat at Twickenham, but I can’t see a scenario that the All Blacks don’t run out 25 point winners this afternoon.

John McEnerney: England might match the All Black’s intensity for about an hour and that’ll be their lot. England are pumped big time which might not necessarily be the best thing against the calm-headed All Blacks, who like their opponents to be loose cannons.

RantingMrP: Shame that this test didn't happen two years ago, when England had a big claim - not least from Eddie Jones - at being the world's number one rugby side. Still, should be a great test! C’mon the mighty All Blacks!

It really is chucking it down out there.

Speaking ahead of kick off, England head coach Eddie Jones said: "We have had a good solid preparation physically, and by thinking about the game, and we think we are in the right spot. Whenever you get the chance to play against possibly the best sporting team in the world, you are excited about it, and we want to put our best forward."

"It's a massive opportunity for the players and they might not get this again in their lives, so they are ready to take it with two hands. Not many England sides have beaten New Zealand so they have the chance to make history today."

New Zealand's scrum is a very strong weapon as they have lost only four of their own scrums out of 181 in their last 23 matches against other Tier I teams. The All Blacks have won 28 of their opponents' 158 scrums in the same matches.

Twenty-five of New Zealand's 112 tries (22%) against Tier I nations and the Lions in 2017 and 2018 began with a scrum, one of which was put in by the opposition (Australia) and won against the head.

From the pictures I can see it looks borderline biblical out there is south-west London.

This could be the joker that Eddie Jones was hoping to come out the pre-match pack...

It is a little bit early for me, I am not going to say I've been blown away by the way Brad Shields plays - part of me always wonders, if New Zealand don't really want to play him why would he necessarily get in the England side?

However, I have started to watch him a little bit more closely and can understand the work rate, energy, defensive skills he has.

He doesn't make too many mistakes, which is important as a six, but it's a bit early for me to say he's going to be the future of this England side going towards the World Cup.

Brad Shields can't have been that far away from the All Blacks, they deemed him not quite good enough so he didn't get his cap.

You need water carriers, people to help the team function and go and hit. There is nothing wrong with having a team that has people like that in.

England need to be more the sum of their parts.

Some familiar names, some of which in unfamiliar positions when New Zealand beat England in the final of the IRB Junior World Championship back in 2011.

Beauden Barrett, TJ Perenara, George Ford and Owen Farrell all feature in the back lines, with Brad Shields packing down alongside Brodie Retallick and Sam Cane for his native New Zealand. After failing to earn a senior call-up, he swapped to represent England, who he qualifies for through his parents, this summer.

There is a also a cameo Gareth Anscombe, now of Wales, at 10 for the Baby Blacks, and Christian Wade getting the game time he lacked at senior level for England.

Amid the myriad stats about the All Blacks' dominance, there is one that sticks out this afternoon: that they have scored at least four tries in every one of their 11 Tests this year. England have picked a back row of yeomen and tree-choppers, but you can't just defend to beat the world champions. You have to score tries too.

Simon Gleave, head of sports analysis, Gracenote Sports:

Chris Ashton starts an England Test match for the first time since the summer tour of New Zealand in 2014. Ashton is one of five England players in today's squad who played in England's 38-21 win against the All Blacks in 2012.

He started that match along with Ben Youngs and Owen Farrell while Courtney Lawes and Danny Care came on from the bench.

Of the 15 players who started for England that day, five of them, including Ashton, rarely started for England in the next 66 Tests.

Prior to today, Ashton has started nine Tests since that famous afternoon at Twickenham. Saracens full-back Alex Goode also only started nine England Tests thereafter, Ben Morgan 13, Manu Tuilagi six and it was Alex Corbisiero's final England start.

Twickenham's greatest evening?

The old place was rocking with joy and disbelief as Brad Barritt, Chris Ashton and Manu Tuilagi romped in for second-half tries in an ultimately comfortable victory.

You can watch video highlights of that one over here.

A slight asterisk in the ledger: the All Blacks were hit by a virus in the week building up to the match.

Rain is threatened in south-west London later this afternoon, but with kick-off approaching it is set fair for an open game - warm for mid-November, the rain and wind of last night gone east, the pitch as unblemished as the All Blacks' recent record against their hosts.

It doesn't happen very often, playing against the All Blacks, so you have the historical rugby markers in your mind - going back to '93, when I was on the bench and Kyran Bracken played the game of his life with virtually a broken leg, and they won the game, '97 it was a draw, 2002 we managed to win that game - they are big time difference between those games.

They are highlights, standout moments in your career, and you've somehow got to put yourself in a position to go down in history as part of a team that beats the All Blacks.

England are not the favourites, to win it would be truly epic.
