England face New Zealand in the third and final Investec Challenge Autumn Rugby International at Twickenham. England have not beaten the All Blacks since 2003 where they edged the world beaters 15-13 in Wellington. In 2005 England came close to beating New Zealand at Twickenham but they have suffered convincing defeats in the past two matches at the home of rugby, including last year's embarrassing 32-6 drubbing. Following autumn matches against both Australia and Argentina, this will be Martin Johnston's side's last chance to get their house in order ahead of the 2010 Six Nations campaign. But it's not as if any of the players will need an excuse to get fired up against the All Blacks - the sight of the legendary Haka in the centre circle before kick-off should be enough to ignite a fire in the players' bellies.
