Quiz: Can you name the last England team to beat the All Blacks in New Zealand?

Ahead of England’s tour to New Zealand this July, we challenge you to name the last Red Rose team to defeat the All Blacks in Aotearoa.

As per usual, we will provide you with a host of hints and clues to help you get all 22 players, but if you fancy your chances of getting the lot without any assistance, then skip right to it.

Clues

The team in question was coached by Sir Clive Woodward and defeated the All Blacks?15-13 at Westpac Stadium in Wellington back in 2003.

Much of this team would go on to win the Rugby World Cup later that year in what was a memorable period in English rugby history.

The rarity of a win for England in New Zealand is also highlighted by the limited times the two sides have squared off since that match 21 years ago.

Since 2003, the All Blacks and England have clashed in New Zealand in just seven Test matches, with the Red Rose touring on three occasions.

Unsurprisingly, all 22 players that defeated New Zealand are no longer playing rugby, but several have moved into coaching and will be joining the current squad on tour this year.

Quiz: Can you name the ten most capped England rugby players of all-time?

One of the players is currently the head coach of a URC side, and several stars are now pundits for the BBC, ITV, TNT and Sky. Only three players that started against the All Blacks would not start the Rugby World Cup final victory over Australia that November.

In fact, Woodward made just one change from this team’s backline compared to the one that won the final.

The squad contains the first-ever England player to play over 100 Test matches for his country and is jampacked with several stars who are regarded as the best players in their position in English rugby.

The side also contains a dual international who also represented England in rugby league and the player who is until recently, was England’s top points scorer of all time.

Quiz: Can you name all 44 two-time Rugby World Cup winners?

Five players in the 22 also feature in the top 10 of England’s leading try scorers in international rugby.

So, without further ado, have a crack at naming the last England matchday 22 that beat the All Blacks in New Zealand.

Note: Just the players’ surnames will do.
