Two opportunist tries from debutant winger Topsy Ojo at the end of each half gave the final score a measure of respectability - but England were outclassed by the All Blacks.

Dan Carter was the architect, creating one try for Conrad Smith and scoring another himself as New Zealand rattled up 20 points in 11 first-half minutes. Mils Muliaina and Sitiveni Sivivatu then touched down after the interval.

England started with mean determination and New Zealand needed some desperate last-ditch defence from Jerome Kaino to halt David Strettle's dart for the corner.

But moments after Olly Barkley kicked England 6-3 ahead, Tom Palmer and Lee Mears failed to gather the restart cleanly and the All Blacks pounced, with Carter dabbing a neat grubber kick which Smith collected to score his seventh Test try.

New Zealand went for the kill and Carter converted a long-range penalty before winger Sivivatu shredded England's defence and supplied the offload for Carter to score next to the posts.

England were on the back foot again as Carter looked to prise open their defence, but this time Ojo intercepted the offload and sprinted 80metres to score in the corner.

Seven minutes into the second half, All Blacks centre Ma'a Nonu swatted away Charlie Hodgson's weak tackle to send Muliaina over for the All Blacks' third try.

Carter and Nonu then combined to feed Sivivatu, who skipped past a stranded Strettle to score the fourth try.

But England finished with a flourish. Ojo was alive to Danny Care's chip forward and sprinted past Sione Lauaki and Sivivatu to score in the corner.
