England boss Eddie Jones hailed his players for taking it to "the God of rugby" after they recorded a stunning World Cup semi-final victory over New Zealand.
England's dominant 19-7 triumph in Yokohama came against a nation seeking its third successive world title.
But the All Blacks crashed to a first World Cup defeat since the 2007 tournament, with England charging forward to face Six Nations rivals Wales or twice world champions South Africa in next Saturday's final.
"We are going to catch up and have a drink," Jones said. "There is nothing that changes in that relationship.
"He is a great coach. II first coached against him in 1997 – he was with the Crusaders and I was coaching the Brumbies.
"We've had some wins, we've had some losses. He is a great rugby man. He will go down as one of the greatest All Blacks coaches.
"The thing that's impressed me about him is that he has always looked to see what's best for the game. He's going to be missed from that game. I know he is coming back here (to Japan) and coaching in Toyota, so their cars will run a bit faster."
