NEW Zealand has lost the Webb Ellis Trophy after losing 7-19 to England in the Rugby World Cup semi-final last night.

England coach Eddie Jones became the darling of England fans after plotting the fall of the champions at Yokohama, Japan.

England is now through to the RWC final for the first time since 2007.

The win was England’s first win against NZ since a 2012 victory at Twickenham.

The match signals the end of the international career for a number of All Blacks, including captain Kieran Read.

England will play either Wales or South Africa in next Saturday’s Rugby World Cup final.

The two sides meet tonight in the second semi-final.

The RWC2019 final will be at 9pm next Saturday.
