Farrell was stood in the middle of the pitch with the rest of his squad fanning out ahead of him while the All Blacks performed their famous pre-match ritual.

England started the game with high intensity which resulted in an early try for centre Manu Tuilagi and they went on to beat the All Blacks 19-7 in Yokohama.
