England Seeks Redemption Against All Blacks After Heartbreaking Loss
14 Nov
Summary
- England lost to New Zealand 24-22 a year ago, with George Ford missing crucial kicks
- Coach Steve Borthwick has led England to 9 consecutive wins, their longest streak in 8 years
- Ford has bounced back, co-captaining a depleted England to an impressive series victory in Argentina
On November 14th, 2025, England will host the mighty All Blacks, seeking redemption after a heartbreaking 24-22 loss to the visitors a year ago. In that match, flyhalf George Ford had two chances in the dying moments to win the game, but his penalty hit the post and his dropped goal attempt flew wide, drawing boos from the Twickenham crowd.
However, the past year has seen a remarkable turnaround for both Ford and England. Coach Steve Borthwick, who faced criticism for his poor replacement strategy in that previous match, has since led England to nine consecutive wins - their longest streak in eight years. Borthwick has earned a reputation for bold selections, building a powerful bench that includes six British and Irish Lions, dubbed the 'pom squad'.
