15 MILS MULIAINA: A slippery attacker who looked dangerous all afternoon, repeatedly entering the line at breakneck speed. 8

14 ZAC GUILDFORD: Threw a sloppy pass early on that almost let Ugo Monye in for a try, but otherwise saw little ball. 6

13 CONRAD SMITH: A cerebral presence in the All Blacks' back line, Smith struggled to make an impact until the second half. 7

12 MA'A NONU: Unusually quiet afternoon in attack for New Zealand's main linebreaker, but was a rock in defence. 6

11 SITIVENI SIVIVATU: Lethal in open space, England's hearts were in their mouths every time he touched the ball. 7

10 DAN CARTER: Rare mixed afternoon for the peerless fly-half, missing two easy shots at goal, but strong in defence. 6

9 JIMMY COWAN: Endured a frustrating afternoon until he popped up in support to score the only try of the match. 6

1 TONY WOODCOCK: Offered a powerful presence at the coalface with England's scrum struggling at times. 6

2 ANDREW HORE: Grizzled All Blacks veteran made little headway against Test rookie Dylan Hartley. 6

3 OWEN FRANKS: A novice at this level, Franks nevertheless showed glimpses of an All Black regular in the making. 6

4 BRAD THORN: Showed industry in the tight where he hit rucks all afternoon, but was not a major presence. 6

5 TOM DONNELLY: Threw himself into the breakdown with gusto though failed to make any headway against Simon Shaw. 6

6 ADAM THOMSON: Quiet afternoon for the blindside, who will have been pleased to see Joe Worsley leave injured after two minutes. 6

7 RICHIE McCAW: Named man of the match for his outstanding work on the floor and had a subtle hand in Cowan's try. 8

8 KIERAN READ: Future All Black skipper was strong and direct against a physical England pack. 7
