New Zealand Under-20s ran England ragged to claim a crushing 38-3 win in the IRB Junior World Championship final in Swansea.
The Junior All Blacks ran in four sparkling tries to lift the title - two of them in the final 10 minutes after Leeds flanker Calum Clark was sent off for butting an opponent.
Crusaders' Super 14 champion Kade Poki touched down in the first half, with Jackson Willison, Andre Taylor and Ryan Crotty all scoring tries.
Saracens' Alex Goode kicked a penalty for Six Nations champions England, who were playing their third game against a Southern Hemisphere side in eight days.
"New Zealand are a fantastic side and were the better team on the day, but credit to our guys for what they've achieved this season," said England captain and Wasps number eight Hugo Ellis (pictured).
"We've had two great victories in a week to get here but we suffered a bit today and there were some heavy legs out from the guys who worked so hard against South Africa and Australia."
