There’s something about Eden Park and the All Blacks.
New Zealand prevented England from scoring a try in the final minutes of the second of two summer test matches as the All Blacks scored 10 points in the final 20 minutes to beat a scrappy England team that was trying to win in New Zealand for the first time in 21 years.
New Zealand won 24-17. England is now 0-9 against the All Blacks in New Zealand since 2023.
Perhaps it was the Eden Park impact.
The All Blacks’ national stadium in Auckland has now seen 49 matches without a New Zealand. The last time they lost at the 124-year-old stadium was in 1994 against France.
The All Blacks now head to San Diego, Calif. to face rival Fiji on July 20 on FloRugby and the FloSports app.

Why are New Zealanders called All Blacks? It Has To Do With England
It’s the uniform, obviously, but there is history there and it has to do with England.
The name goes back to 1888-1889 when the New Zealand national rugby team wore all black jerseys when they toured England and Australia
New Zealand All Blacks Honoring 1924 Rugby Team
New Zealand is celebrating the 1924-1925 All Blacks team known as the Invincibles. In fact the referee, Nic Berry, will be using the same whistle used in 1925 in a match against England.
Connecting 100 years of rugby history 🏉
On Saturday, referee Nic Berry will use the same whistle that was used in the Invincibles’ match against England in 1925.
