 New Zealand can go into Saturday's Hillary Shield match against England knowing all the pressure is on the home side.

The All Blacks go to Twickenham knowing England took few positives from their win over Argentina last weekend, when the visitors strangled their hosts in the first half.

England have also suffered a number of injuries, although lock Simon Shaw is expected to be back today.

Online rugby odds for the match at Centrebet show New Zealand as the clear favourites at 1.12, while England are out at 6.35.

Tipsters at the official All Blacks website agree with the bookmakers, saying: "New Zealand's ability to play an expansive game will be its greatest asset while England, with such an inexperienced front row will have its concentration sorely tested.

"The All Blacks know the next two weekends make or break their tour and it is difficult to see anything other than a steely approach to subdue any surprises England might uncover."

In 32 meetings between the two sides, England have won just six times, with the All Blacks claiming 25 wins, while there has been just one draw.

The last time England met New Zealand in London, the home side were dealt something of a lesson, losing 32-6 on November 30 last year.
