England historic win over New Zealand 19-7 to reach Rugby World Cup 2019 final.

Now England is into its first Rugby World Cup final 2019 in 12 years after a brilliant demolition 19-7 of three-time world champions New Zealand.

Eddie Jones's side had stormed into a 10-0 lead, Manu Tuilagi's second-minute try and a long-range penalty from George Ford fitting reward for a blistering first half.

While the opening try after just 98 seconds is an obvious place to start, the genesis of it began before the game had even started.

The finalists' first win over the All Blacks since 2012 was built on small margins, a brilliantly executed gameplan and an ability to adapt to setbacks such as Owen Farrell's injury.
