Sunday, 9 November 2025

Nine-test All Black Braydon Ennor was one of the stars for the All Blacks XV as they beat England A 31-14 in Bath on Sunday morning (NZT).

Having beaten the Barbarians in Brentford last weekend, when they were forced to recover from a 19-0 deficit to win 33-19, the New Zealanders, coached by Highlanders boss Jamie Joseph, were determined to make a fast start against England A.

They did just that.

The visitors struck first after just twelve minutes and maintained their lead throughout the match.

The All Blacks XV pressured the hosts into making 23 handling errors and excelled in the lineouts, limiting England to a 57% success rate.

Centre Ennor was named man of the match. He made nine tackles, snaffled two turnovers and made a line break.

In the 25th minute, as England threatened to score, Ennor stole the ball which led to a length-of-the-field attack that involved a run by wing Sevu Reece before lock Jamie Hannah scored.

The All Blacks XV sealed the victory in the 64th minute when Rivez Reihana scored an 80-metre try that featured two skilful touches from fellow backs David Havili and a final pass from Josh Jacomb.

The All Blacks XV’s final game of their tour will be against Uruguay at Stade Raoul-Barrière in Béziers, France next Monday (NZT).
