Well, England did, but the referee in the England/New Zealand test match controlled the pace of the game, thus favoring the style of England, which is to slow the game down, whereas the All Blacks play a wide open style based on speed (focusing on guys like Dougie Howlett, Rococo (sp?), and Spencer to provide the speed to break through the defense. Next time England/New Zealand play each other, I want Patty O'Brien to ref that match, because I guarantee you that he won't let England dog the ball so much that the game gets slowed down so much to cater to England's style.
