Only once before have New Zealand failed to score a point in the first half of a Rugby World Cup game - against Australia in the 1991 semi-final (trailed 13-0 at HT).

England take a 10-0 lead over New Zealand into halftime. England got off to a dream start with an early try giving them a 7-0 lead. The half was tight for the most part, with England winning the territory battle. England would add three more points with a penalty just before the break.
