England hit the self-destruct button to hand New Zealand a third Grand Slam with a 32-6 win at Twickenham.
Mils Muliaina crossed twice and man of the match Ma'a Nonu once while Dan Carter, who uncharacteristically missed five shots at goal, kicked 17 points.
But the scoreline failed to do England justice with terrible discipline - topped by four yellow cards - marring their best display of the autumn.
A one-sided final quarter distorted what was otherwise a full-blooded encounter which saw Toby Flood kick all of England's points.
Northampton Saints hooker Dylan Hartley was thrown on in the 67th minute as a replacement for Lee Mears.
