England take on New Zealand again this weekend and will hope to avenge last weekend's First Test loss. They were beaten 16-15 by the All-Blacks but face another tough task. This match is being played at Eden Park in Auckland and not since 1994 has New Zealand been beaten there.
Finn Baxter replaces the injured Joe Marter at prop. He came on as a replacement last weekend and that was his international debut. Freddie Steward also comes into the side as England full-back George Furbank is injured.
New Zealand have also had to make a change for this match. TJ Perenara is out injured and in comes Finlay Christie. There's a change on the bench too with Cortez Ratima added and he'll make his international debut if getting on the pitch.
The All-Blacks have won seven of their last nine matches against England and that goes back 12 years. England haven't beaten them since the 2019 World Cup semi-finals. In terms of matches played in New Zealand, not since 2003 have England won a match.
It's 51 years since England last beat New Zealand at this venue. They did run the All-Blacks close in the First Test but the home side always seems to step up a gear at Eden Park. We tip New Zealand to win and lead at half and full time.

Our New Zealand vs England Prediction
England lost narrowly last week and will be desperate to level the series on Saturday. New Zealand are playing at Eden Park and that's been a fortress for them in the past 30 years. Both sides have only made one enforced change so another exciting match looks likely.
Our New Zealand v England prediction is for New Zealand to lead at both half and full time.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
