All Blacks cruise to series victory

21 January 2008
Danny Care and Tom Varndell scored for England but they had little answer to the destruction orchestrated once again by Dan Carter, who finished with his second 22-point haul in successive weeks - including one of New Zealand's five tries.
Debutant centre Richard Kahui opened the rout and was joined on the scoresheet by Ma'a Nonu, Sione Lauaki and Jimmy Cowan.
England, who lost last week's opening Test 37-20, made five changes to the back division in a bid to halt New Zealand's powerful runners.
But they found themselves 10-0 down inside 13 minutes after Carter slotted his penalty - he did not miss a kick in either Test - and then sent Richard Kahui racing over for his debut try.
Carter extended New Zealand's advantage with a second penalty from the touchline before cruising over for the All Blacks' second try as captain Richie McCaw limped off with an ankle injury.
Mathew Tait nearly scored after chasing his own chip forward but England went into the interval 20-0 down.
In the second half, Carter kicked a 40-metre effort before Care darted over from close range after New Zealand's scrum had been penalised.
But almost immediately it was cancelled out as New Zealand launched another devastating raid as Sitiveni Sivivatu shredded England's defence before releasing Nonu to score. Lauaki then charged over for the fourth after Mike Tindall had been sin-binned for killing the ball.
Tait provided a delightful pass for Varndell to score on his return to the England team after two years out - but replacement scrum-half Cowan applied the final nail in England's coffin by scampering over for the All Blacks' fifth try with the last attack of the game.
