"Absolutely sensational!" was national coach Sue Hawkins' immediate response after Kukri's England beat the Silver Ferns 40-38 in their second test in Dunedin.

Half time saw the Silver Ferns 21-17 ahead of England but the visitors then made the perfect start to the third quarter as they scored five unanswered goals to edge into the lead.

The Silver Ferns continued to struggle with their timing and England took advantage and in a complete reversal of their first test performance, England was all poise as they fought the Silver Ferns down to the wire......bring on Saturday when England play their final match in Palmerston North.

Go England!
