There couldn't have been a more fitting way for the All Blacks to end their 2022 rugby season. Leading by 19 points with nine minutes left, the All Blacks bottled a sure win against England at Twickenham, leaving London with a 25-all draw. This after a blistering first half performance which rival coach Eddie Jones hailed as the best he'd seen an All Black side play. Telegraph rugby writer Ben Coles spoke to Kim Hill.
The All Blacks' roller-coaster year comes to a close at a sold-out Twickenham on Sunday morning, where they can expect to be fully tested by Eddie Jones' England side. Victory would be the seventh in a row for Ian Foster's team but defeat would send them into the off-season with more doubts swirling about their chances at next year's World Cup. UK Telegraph rugby writer Ben Coles spoke to Corin Dann.

We're one step closer to the start of the 2022 Six Nations and we know the initial squads that will be taking to the field over the next eight weeks.Joining Brian to discuss the latest ahead of the Six Nations and beyond is the former Scotland scrum half Rory Lawson.England opted to leave in form George Ford out of their initial squad but he looks to have found a way in due to an injury to skipper Owen Farrell. We are joined by the Telegraph's Ben Coles to discuss the latest from the England camp and ask if it would be a blessing in disguise for Farrell to miss this year's competition, to give the side a chance to learn how to cope without their most influential player.First up for England is a trip to Murrayfield. Rory tells us why Scotland are once again feeling confident ahead of the clash and that the squad is amongst the strongest Gregor Townsend has picked in charge.Elsewhere we run through some of the other major squad selections, recap the latest round of European Rugby and discuss the new terrestrial TV deal for the Gallagher Premiership.Read more from Brian every Monday: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/authors/b/bp-bt/brian-moore/ |Save 50% on a Telegraph Sport subscription: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/contact |See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
