New Zealand vs England: preview

England come into the game with some pep. They may not have won this year's Six Nations, but a famous one-point victory over Ireland felt like a win that could define the Steve Borthwick era. And then their 52-17 defeat of Japan in Tokyo last weekend suggested that this squad was continuing to galvanize. Marcus Smith's 13 points, and tries for Immanuel Feyi-Waboso and Chandler Cunningham-South show what the future might hold. But a tour in New Zealand is an entirely different proposition.

The All Blacks haven't played a Test match since that cruel World Cup Final defeat in Paris last October. With former international player Scott Robertson taking over as head coach, and the likes of Sam Whitelock, Brodie Retallick and Aaron Smith all retiring, this is certainly the start of a new era for the All Blacks, too.

England currently hold the Hillary Shield. They pipped the All Blacks in a famous World Cup semi-final in 2019 and the teams drew at Twickenham in 2022. But it's now over 21 years since England recorded a win on New Zealand soil – can they upset the odds on Saturday? Both sides will be eager to set the right tone at the start of this next World Cup cycle with a statement win at Dunedin in the first Test of the visitors' two-match tour.
