Streetwise New Zealand grind out victory over England


LONDON (Reuters) - New Zealand showed all their class and experience to grind out a 24-21 victory over England at Twickenham on Saturday, weathering an early home storm to totally dominate the second half as England ran out of ideas.

England, playing their first game since losing to the All Blacks in June, led 14-11 at the break after a scintillating Jonny May try but came to rue missed opportunities in a one-sided second half.
