Right, on that semi-positive note, it is time for us to disappear down the BBC Sport tunnel. England's players will be glued to their television screens tomorrow to see if Samoa can narrowly beat the Aussies in their own backyard. If you're not setting yourself an early alarm call (the game kicks off at 05:00 GMT) then you can catch up by reading our match report.
And if we are talking you through a Four Nations final next weekend which does feature England, then we will all have witnessed the Wonder of Wollongong. See you next week!

What's that sound I can hear from the England camp? The collective clutching of straws? Perhaps. But let's not write off Samoa shall we. The Pacific Islanders gave England a pre-Hallowe'en fright before succumbing to a 32-26 defeat, while they pushed the Kiwis even harder in a 14-12 loss.

Three hours ago, we still didn't know which two sides would be contesting next Saturday's Four Nations final. Fast forward to now, and we know that New Zealand are definitely going for glory in their capital city. What we still don't know is who will join them. The odds are stacked in favour of world champions Australia, with an outside chance for England or Samoa.

They're a young group and to apply themselves the way they have done...we are still in it with a chance of making the final but today was desperately close.

"It is disappointing to lose and looks like we won't make the final. But we have a very young team and it would have been phenomenal for the lads on their first tour to make the final.

And perhaps it could also apply to Dunedin. Yes, that Dunedin on the south island of New Zealand. That's what England prop George Burgess reckons anyway.
"It's been good," says the 22-year-old Yorkshireman. "This is a different environment from the Gold Coast. But Dunedin looks a bit like the north of England, where I'm from, so I'm enjoying it."
Stat attack
New Zealand v England (07:10 GMT)
England last beat New Zealand in the 2011 Four Nations, a 28-6 win in Hull. The nearest they have come to victory over the Kiwis in New Zealand is a 17-17 draw in Auckland in 1975.

Jon Wilkin

"England should not be focussing too much on the Ryan Hall incident from last week but to focus on what they did very well. They threatened Australia but shut up shop and failed to challenge in the second half.
"In New Zealand, they face the best team in the tournament. They have to play better and near their best. Those bad moments like the World Cup semi-final last year can keep you awake at night."

Of course, all those permutations could have been - and perhaps should have been - all irrelevant. Because if Ryan Hall's 'try' had been given in the dying moments of the Australia game then England would already be booked into Wellington's finest tailors for suit fittings. Maybe the measuring man might be called into action on Monday.

Former New Zealand international on BBC Two
"I can promise you now New Zealand will not be looking any further back than the first half of England's game against Australia when England punched a lot of holes in the defensive line."
England full-back Sam Tomkins: "They are talented blokes - I have been asked about certain individuals. Someone like Shaun Johnson, you try to fly out of the line and get a hit on him, boom, he will step you. He is too quick.
"Our squad is really exciting now - people like Dan Sarginson, who stepped up against the Aussies last week."
England win by 10 points or more: England are through because they would have a better points difference than New Zealand. But New Zealand will also go through if Australia beat Samoa but fail to turn around the 34-point swing currently in the Kiwis' favour, or if Samoa win.
England win by 10 points or less: New Zealand are through because they have a better points difference than England. But England can also go through if Australia beat Samoa and do not better their points difference (England currently are 16 points better off), or if Samoa win.
Draw: New Zealand qualify, England eliminated if Australia beat Samoa.
England lose: All but mathematically out. Slim chance they could still qualify if they lose narrowly to New Zealand and Samoa narrowly beat Australia.
All clear? Good.

So this is the third - but, England are hoping, not final - instalment of the Four Nations tournament. The Kiwis are the favourites today, but England, who include 10 of the men who played at Wembley, are hoping to prove the experts - and the bookies - wrong.
"We certainly feel like we owe them one," says England full-back Sam Tomkins.
Call this an early start? Last weekend was an early start. After England met Australia at an eye-watering time of 05:00 GMT on Sunday, we're able to have a relative lie-in today.
But most of you will still be lying under the duvet or flaked out on the sofa. Some of you may even be lucky enough to be down in Dunedin. Wherever you are, we want to know. So tell us where you are watching the game, by sending in your photos and selfies using the #rlbreakfast.

Now Steve McNamara's men have an opportunity for retribution. Victory by 10 points or more will secure England's place in the Four Nations final where they could face the Kiwis again. Or Australia. Or Samoa. Anything can happen over the next 160 minutes of rugby league. Expect the unexpected.
Post update
New Zealand v England (07:00 GMT)
Yep, it really is 350 days since that heartbreaking semi-final defeat at Wembley. With less than a minute until the hooter, England had one foot in a World Cup final on home soil. Then that standing leg was swiped from underneath them in a moment of Kiwi magic.
With his side trailing 18-14, half-back Shaun Johnson shimmied and danced through the tiring England defence to level, before keeping his cool in front of a baying home crowd to slot over the conversion. Silence inside the national stadium. England's World Cup dream was over - ripped into tatters and strewn all over the Wembley pitch.

Revenge is a dish best served cold, so says that popular old expression. Today England will take revenge freezing cold, boiling hot, or even slightly lukewarm. However it arrives, they want it.
Because if they beat New Zealand - those dastardly, World Cup final-robbing, old foes - then a place in the Four Nations showpiece could be guaranteed.

Right, on that semi-positive note, it is time for us to disappear down the BBC Sport tunnel. England's players will be glued to their television screens tomorrow to see if Samoa can narrowly beat the Aussies in their own backyard. If you're not setting yourself an early alarm call (the game kicks off at 05:00 GMT) then you can catch up by reading our match report.
And if we are talking you through a Four Nations final next weekend which does feature England, then we will all have witnessed the Wonder of Wollongong. See you next week!

What's that sound I can hear from the England camp? The collective clutching of straws? Perhaps. But let's not write off Samoa shall we. The Pacific Islanders gave England a pre-Hallowe'en fright before succumbing to a 32-26 defeat, while they pushed the Kiwis even harder in a 14-12 loss.

And survive they do! But is down to a Kiwi mistake rather than resolute defending.

Big chance for the Kiwis just before the break. They are gifted another set inside the England 10m zone as another Shaun Johnson bomb causes all sorts of collateral. Sam Tomkins is equal to the gather, but scuffs his play-the-ball. Tomkins protests to referee Phil Bentham but the fault is all his.

New Zealand 6-8 England
England make their first switch of the Dunedin evening - on trots Elliot Whitehead for his England debut.
And with seconds he is celebrating an England try! Wigan speedster Josh Charnley gobbles up Sean O'Loughlin's brilliant flat pass to touch down in the right corner.
Widdop has more catcalls ringing in his ears as he lines up the conversion from the right touchline. Another super strike which sails towards the posts - another unlucky bounce of the upright. England lead by two...

New Zealand 6-4 England
Back come the Kiwis after a couple of England mistakes. James Graham gets a telling off by English referee Phil Bentham, as he hands New Zealand another set.
The Kiwis look dangerous with ball in hand - and almost grab a second try. Manu Vatuvei eyes up the whitewash, only to somehow spill the ball under pressure from England winger Josh Charnley. Possession back to England.

England scrum-half Matty Smith looks to put that depleted Kiwi right flank under pressure with a high kick on the last, Ryan Hall flaps a palm at the ball but it doesn't stick. Ball back with a white shirt, Gareth Widdop goes left with the boot - and New Zealand knock on. Another six from inside 30 metres..

Claret has been spilled - which I'm sure won't be for the first time. Kiwi winger Jason Nightingale slams into Dan Sarginson in a thumping tackle, and gets a split forehead for his trouble. He wanders off, looking a little dazed, opportunity for England to exploit his absence down that Kiwi right-hand side?

England on the attack again. They're looking razor sharp. Daryl Clark scampers from dummy half to go within a fingertip of the Kiwi line. England continue to shift the ball quickly, from left to right, but Kallum Watkins can't find a gap in that wall of black shirts, eventually dropping the ball not far from the Kiwi line.

Hare 'em, scare 'em stuff at the moment. England's kick on the last fortuitously falls back into New Zealand hands, presenting a decent breakway chance for the Kiwis. But Jason Taumalolo's hands aren't the nimblest - throwing a long pass left hopelessly out into touch with Manu Vatuvei waiting to start tearing up field. Not that I'd tell the big man that his passing is hopeless.

England looking electrifying, back on the attack, boosted by that try. Quick hands threaten to find a gap before the Kiwis see out the danger. Matty Smith's crossfield kick looks for Wigan team-mate Josh Charnley, only to find Manu Vatuvei waiting underneath it for an early take.

New Zealand 6-4 England
England put pressure on from the restart, closing down well. They then win a penalty on their set. Hands at play-the-ball.
England look to make the most of their good field position, working the ball out to the left, with Gareth Widdop and Sam Tomkins involved before Dan Sarginson puts in Ryan Hall, who touches in at the corner for his 23rd England try.
Widdop stands focused on the touchline as the Kiwi fans behind him give him the bird. He strikes it perfectly, but the ball cannons back off the left upright. Unlucky.

"Out of the four kickers, Shaun Johnson can kick the highest. In the enclosed stadium, you get more hang time so it will be a tough night for the full-backs and wingers.

It's T-R-Y time. Jason Nightingale leaps into the Dunedin air, beating opposite winger Ryan Hall, as Johnson's kick causes all sorts of havoc. That came after huge loose forward Jason Taumalolo busts a hole in the England line. Cracking start for the Kiwis.

Stone houses. Rolling hills. Grey skies. Sheep. That's Yorkshire in a nutshell, isn't it?
And perhaps it could also apply to Dunedin. Yes, that Dunedin on the south island of New Zealand. That's what England prop George Burgess reckons anyway.
"It's been good," says the 22-year-old Yorkshireman. "This is a different environment from the Gold Coast. But Dunedin looks a bit like the north of England, where I'm from, so I'm enjoying it."

England last beat New Zealand in the 2011 Four Nations, a 28-6 win in Hull. The nearest they have come to victory over the Kiwis in New Zealand is a 17-17 draw in Auckland in 1975.

"England should not be focussing too much on the Ryan Hall incident from last week but to focus on what they did very well. They threatened Australia but shut up shop and failed to challenge in the second half.
"In New Zealand, they face the best team in the tournament. They have to play better and near their best. Those bad moments like the World Cup semi-final last year can keep you awake at night."

Of course, all those permutations could have been - and perhaps should have been - all irrelevant. Because if Ryan Hall's 'try' had been given in the dying moments of the Australia game then England would already be booked into Wellington's finest tailors for suit fittings. Maybe the measuring man might be called into action on Monday.

England win by 10 points or more: England are through because they would have a better points difference than New Zealand. But New Zealand will also go through if Australia beat Samoa but fail to turn around the 34-point swing currently in the Kiwis' favour, or if Samoa win.
England win by 10 points or less: New Zealand are through because they have a better points difference than England. But England can also go through if Australia beat Samoa and do not better their points difference (England currently are 16 points better off), or if Samoa win.
Draw: New Zealand qualify, England eliminated if Australia beat Samoa.
England lose: All but mathematically out. Slim chance they could still qualify if they lose narrowly to New Zealand and Samoa narrowly beat Australia.
All clear? Good.

Two familiar faces to the England players have been recalled to the New Zealand team today. Ex-Wigan half-back/hooker Thomas Leuluai and former Leeds second rower Greg Eastwood are back on the bench after missing the narrow win against Samoa.
England make one change from the dramatic defeat by Australia, hooker Daryl Clark coming in for Josh Hodgson. The Hull KR man drops out of the squad, with Catalan Dragons second rower Elliot Whitehead stepping up to the bench.
Captain Sean O'Loughlin and fellow forward Liam Farrell both start after no action was taken over tackles they made against the Kangaroos.

Yep, it really is 350 days since that heartbreaking semi-final defeat at Wembley. With less than a minute until the hooter, England had one foot in a World Cup final on home soil. Then that standing leg was swiped from underneath them in a moment of Kiwi magic.
With his side trailing 18-14, half-back Shaun Johnson shimmied and danced through the tiring England defence to level, before keeping his cool in front of a baying home crowd to slot over the conversion. Silence inside the national stadium. England's World Cup dream was over - ripped into tatters and strewn all over the Wembley pitch.

Revenge is a dish best served cold, so says that popular old expression. Today England will take revenge freezing cold, boiling hot, or even slightly lukewarm. However it arrives, they want it.
Because if they beat New Zealand - those dastardly, World Cup final-robbing, old foes - then a place in the Four Nations showpiece could be guaranteed.
