England's players have built valuable experience together and are reaping the rewards during their 10-match winning run, says head coach Steve Borthwick.

Borthwick masterminded a come-from-behind 33-19 victory over New Zealand at Twickenham on Saturday – England's first win over the All Blacks at home since 2012.

England trailed 12-0 at one point in the first half, but a run of 25 unanswered points put them in control, and they held off a late fightback from the All Blacks to claim victory.

They are now on their best winning streak since a run of 18 victories in a row from 2015 to 2017, and they will aim to keep their impressive form going against Argentina next week, in their final game of 2025.

"It's a team that is developing and growing," Borthwick said. "I said that last year. This is a team that needs experience together. It is showing on the pitch.

"Each and every game is important for England. I'm particularly happy for the players today, and even more for the supporters. 

"It has been a while since we had a win here over New Zealand. I hope London is a good place for England supporters to be tonight, and the millions of fans all around the country and the world are enjoying it.

"The team has a lot of belief. That's something we continue to work upon and develop as we go forward, and we've got one more game against Argentina here next Sunday."

George Ford earned plenty of plaudits after Saturday's win, having nailed back-to-back drop-goals just before half-time to get England back in contention.

Borthwick credited the Sale fly-half for changing the momentum of the match, hailing his ability to lead from the front.

"You have to give credit to the senior players in our team, especially George," Borthwick told BBC Sport.

"That period where he hit those drop-goals, he managed the game just incredibly.

"He is a phenomenal leader, a brilliant player and an even better person. We are privileged to have him in our squad."
