Tony Smith's side produced a stunning eight-try performance to open up an unassailable 2-0 series lead and wrap up their first series win since a 3-0 win over the Kiwis in 1993.

Their success also represents a record victory over the New Zealanders and a record winning margin in a Test match.

And, to underline the sweetness of the moment, the mood amongst the crowd of over 20,000 on Humberside was somewhat more joyous than that in Wellington almost a year ago, when a 34-4 defeat hammered another nail into the Lions' Tri-Nations coffin.

The tone was set after just 74 seconds when captain Jamie Peacock barged over for an opening try, with scores from Leon Pryce, who crossed twice, Gareth Raynor, Paul Wellens, Ade Gardner, Rob Burrow and Keith Senior following.

The problem for New Zealand coach Gary Kemble was that his players simply could not match Great Britain in the middle of the park.

They were dangerous on the fringes, especially forward Frank Pritchard, but were unable to master a superior home pack, directed superbly by debutant hooker Jon Clarke.
