LIVE- England v New Zealand

Hello and welcome to England's final Autumn Investec International- but what a way to end proceedings

Today sees Stuart Lancaster's side take on unarguably the best side in rugby union's modern era, and arguably one of the best of all time that the international stage has seen, the All Black's.

New Zealand have won every single game they have played this calendar year (12) and have only lost one of their last 33 test matches, an incredible force to be reckoned with.

However, the AB's will have very sour memories of their last visit to Twickenham, where that solitary defeat took place. On an incredible day of international rugby, England blew away New Zealand running in three tries capping a brilliant 38-21 victory, to which the visitors had no answers and no excuses.

12 months on and they return to the same arena more than just a point to prove. England meanwhile go into the game on confident form as well, winning 9 of the last 10 games and 7 in a row at Twickenham, already dispatching of two southern hemisphere sides in Australia and Argentina in their last two test matches.

So will history repeat itself today, or will there be sweet revenge for the All Blacks?
