Peacock led from the front with a man-of-the-match performance as Britain blitzed the sorry Kiwis 44-0 at Hull to wrap up the Test series with a game to spare.

"It's a new feeling and a great one," he said. "Hopefully we can put another performance together (in Wigan on Saturday) and put the series to bed 3-0 and get some confidence going into the World Cup."

Drawing confidence from their 20-14 first-Test victory, Britain turned on the style to run in eight tries, two of them from stand-off Leon Pryce, but it was Peacock's second-minute touchdown that set the tone for an impressive performance.

The Kiwis had not even touched the ball when the Leeds prop tore through some flimsy defence to open the scoring after just 74 seconds and give his side the perfect start.

"You always like to start a game well and that gave us a massive lift," said Peacock's front-row partner Adrian Morley. "We never looked back after that.

"As well as the try, I thought JP had a massive captain's game as usual."
