New Zealand coach Graham Henry believes the victory over England is one of the finest moments of his career. "I feel very humble tonight. I've got huge pride in the togetherness of the All Blacks," he said.
Henry also claimed that England had turned the corner under the guidance of Andy Robinson.
"I think they played well all over the park. Maybe it hasn't been there for them since the World Cup but it seems to be coming back now."
Henry added: "It was a high-quality Test match and both sides deserve great credit for that.
"When you play the world champions at home - and it's looking pretty special for them - it ranks up there pretty highly. It was pretty special."
New Zealand's Dan Carter - scorer of 13 points and instrumental in two tries - was delighted with his team's efforts.
"It was extremely tough but we trusted our defensive system and came away with a great win," the fly-half said.
Captain and centre Tana Umaga scored the first try and admitted the Twickenham encounter had been what they anticipated.
He said: "We saw this as our hardest game, not just on this tour but probably of the whole season. We talked about it like that all week and that is exactly what we got."
