    That is it from me for today - take a look at Mike Henson's summary of a breathless classic and enjoy the rest of your night.

  2. 'Fans were fantastic, but next week will be different again'published at 20:25 Greenwich Mean Time 19 November 2022

    Eddie Jones looks to South Africa next week: "It will be a different game against South Africa, a different referee, a different animal we are playing against, but what was fantastic today was the crowd. They really lifted us in the second half and I would would like to thank the fans."

  3. 'JvP needs to ignore outside opinions'published at 20:24 Greenwich Mean Time 19 November 2022

    Eddie Jones discusses Jack van Poortvliet on Amazon Prime:

    "Sometimes you get the results of the tests before the lessons! It was a hard first half for him, we were getting beaten around the ruck, they were flying through, pressure on, 50-50 decsions going against him but he came back. The thing he has to remember is not to listen to what is being said outside, just worry about what is being said within the team."

  4. 'Aggressive Smith was outstanding'published at 20:23 Greenwich Mean Time 19 November 2022

    Eddie Jones speaking about Marcus Smith on Amazon Prime: "I liked the change in his attitude. He is a fantastic player, sometimes he is not as aggressive as he should be, but when he did at the end he was absolutely outstanding."

  5. 'Kicking out the right call'published at 20:22 Greenwich Mean Time 19 November 2022

    England boss Eddie Jones speaking to Amazon Prime:

    On the call to kick the ball out at the end for the draw: "It is always up to the players, the referee was being very hard on the attacking rucks so there was a lot of sense in the decision they made.

    "I thought New Zealand were superb in the first half, they were aggressive they won the ruck and when they had the opportunities they were able to score. We hung in there a lot and you always get the chance to attack, and we had that at the end.

    "We put in some of the things we have worked on - running straighter, attacking gaps, quicker support play and it was fantastic."

    England boss Eddie Jones has just spoken to Amazon Prime. Full quotes to follow shortly but here are a few snippets...

    On Marcus Smith kicking the ball dead at the end: "It's always up to the players. They've got a feel of the game. There was a lot of sense in the decision they made."

    On Smith: "Marcus is a fantastic player but sometimes he isn't aggressive as he can be."

    On the result: "A draw is OK."

    On the crowd: "They really lifted us in the second half. We'd really like to thank them."

  7. 'We didn't nail the last 10 minutes'published at 20:05 Greenwich Mean Time 19 November 2022

    New Zealand head coach Ian Foster speaking to Amazon Prime:

    "Its 25-all, there is a lot of drama, some close calls with TMOs but you have to take your hat off to England. I am proud of the first 70 (minutes), we played the kind of rugby we have been searching for.

    "I thought we dominated for large parts of it. Test matches are tough, people make too much out of something and I think we are building strongly but we did not nail the last 10 minutes.

    "I am pleased with our growth, I am pleased with our young guys and where we are going."

    FT: England 25-25 New Zealand

    England's last two defeats at the All Blacks at Twickenham were by one point and three points, so a draw is some kind of progress.

    No shame in that, Laura...

  10. 'It's about results and the here and now'published at 19:54 Greenwich Mean Time 19 November 2022

    Kyle Sinckler, speaking to Amazon Prime: "He would not say it, but we tried to make it a special occasion for Owen this week. It was a tale of two halves and credit to those who came on and finished the game off for us.

    "From a team perspective, from where we were to come back against a team like New Zealand. and draw is testament to this team and the squad. International rugby is all about results and the here and now. To get a draw with a world class side like New Zealand is very good."

    Ben: Should have gone for the win but still a great comeback. Great effort second half from the boys and got that bit of luck you need sometimes!

    Mark: I think right decision to take the draw. NZ came for us after RWC semi and will be hurting big time that we came back. Priority at 70 mins = don’t lose.

    Lesley: All the people complaining that Smith kicked the ball off the park, think how you'd have felt if they'd tried, failed and some error allowed NZ to score. Not impossible, so you don't take chances against the All Blacks unless there's a LOT more at stake.

  12. 'Right decision' to accept drawpublished at 19:46 Greenwich Mean Time 19 November 2022

    FT: England 25-25 New Zealand

    England captain Owen Farrell, speaking to Amazon Prime:

    [On the decision to settle for a draw] "I think it depended where we had the ball. It's a difficult place to go from. They had bodies piling in, we had men out. It was the right decision I think.

    "They came out firing, we added errors on errors like the first game against Argentina. It didn't feel like we were far off to be honest, just one or two percent. But against New Zealand that's a lot.

    "We're growing. This team has not been together too long. We feel like we're getting tighter and closer on and off the pitch. We're understanding each other a bit more. That got tested a bit today but we stuck together. That was brilliant.

    "We're a team that wants to go at other teams. We don't want to wait for mistakes. That's what we did today."

    [On winning his 100th cap] "It's special. It's hard to take it in during the week leading up to such a big game. I'm unbelievably grateful to have it in front of this crowd today.

    "The exciting bit is in front of us."

    Will Stuart is the first England prop to score two tries in a match - given some of the names he follows, and the opposition, that's something he should be very proud of.

    Cedric: Although England seemed completely lost in the game, they are one of the very few nations to catch up against the All Blacks in the last 20 minutes.

    England 25-25 New Zealand

    I've already referenced Bruce Forsyth today, but 'good game, good game'!

    It looked like the archetypal New Zealand win was in the offing until a 10 minutes that England fans will talk about for a long time.

    Andrew: Why kick the ball off the park!? That decision alone has almost turned a comeback draw that felt like a win into a comeback draw that felt like a defeat.

    England 25-25 New Zealand

    There was a 26-all draw in 1997 that I remember well - I watched it in a pub in Tooting - but today's is a different proposition given England's fightback.

    Breathless stuff. Should England have gone for it at the end or did they take the right option?

    England take the restart cleanly, the ball flies back to Marcus Smith - will he run it or go for touch and take the draw?

    It's the latter - there are a few boos, but what a comeback and what a climax!
