Well it definitely gives a big advantage to Nz, but yes its impossible to know if england would have won even with 15 players.

An advantage yes.

And think about it, if we start attributing the win/loss to the fact that England only had 14 players, then you end up heaping the blame for the loss squarely on the red-carded player, and thats not fair.
