New Zealand piled on the misery as England's tour to forget ended with a 44-12 comprehensive defeat in Christchurch.The All Blacks led 20-0 at half-time in Christchurch through tries from Richard Kahui and Dan Carter, who added two penalties and two conversions.
England finally got on the board when Danny Care crossed for a converted try after he took a quick tap penalty.
But Ma'a Nonu, Sione Lauakiadded further converted tries for the All Blacks, with Tom Varndell's score little consolation for England.
New Zealand ended the match on the front foot and although they had tries from Sivivatu and Thomson chalked off for infringements they did add a fifth converted try through replacement scrum-half Cowan on the final hooter.
