Ben Morgan bleeds from a head cut at the end of the match. Despite a scoreline of 31-12, it was not a convincing victory for England as their performane fell away in the second half. To have any chance of beating the All Blacks in their next Autumn Internationals match, they will have to play at the high standard they are capable of for an entire match, rather than bits of it as was the case against the Pumas Photograph: Tom Jenkins
