England will be searching for redemption in their opening match of the 2024 Autumn Series, as they battle it out against the All Blacks. This is the unofficial third match of the trilogy of fixtures against New Zealand, dating back to England’s recent two-match Summer tour this past July. England were unable to achieve a victory against the All Blacks, who were headed up by newly appointed head coach Scott Robertson.
England came agonisingly close to a historic win against the All Blacks on New Zealand soil in the first Test, with the final score in Dunedin reading 16-15. Some crucial missed kicks from Marcus Smith proved to be costly, as the All Blacks started the new era with a win under ‘Razor’. The return match in Eden Park was a more convincing All Blacks win, with the Auckland stadium streak holding strong into it’s 30th year of Kiwi dominance. The All Blacks achieved a 24-17 win for an unbeaten series, with all eyes now turning to Twickenham.
England v Australia – Saturday November 9, 15:10 KO Allianz Stadium, Twickenham
You have to re-wind the clocks back to the Summer of 2022, for the last meeting between England and the Wallabies. Eddie Jones was in charge of England, as he took his touring side ‘down under’ to his homeland. This tour is fondly remembered for how England turned around the initial first defeat in Perth, with Marcus Smith leading the charge for the second and third Test triumphs.
The decisive third Test of the tour took place in the fabled Sydney Cricket Ground, with the image of Smith breaking through the Australian line to score the decisive try etched upon the memory of England fans. Add in the astute kicking of Owen Farrell to take England to victory, and the two fly halves combined in the 21-17 victory against the Australians. Plenty has changed for the Wallabies since then, with Eddie Jones coming and going as head coach, a miserable 2023 Rugby World Cup pool stage elimination and the appointment of former All Blacks coach Joe Schmidt to head up the team.
England v South Africa – Saturday November 16, 17:40 KO Allianz Stadium, Twickenham

The formidable Springboks return to the home of English rugby, having made the Allianz Stadium into somewhat of a second home. South Africa put the All Blacks to the sword at Twickenham ahead of the Rugby World Cup, and recently recorded an emphatic victory over Wales to commence their 2024 Summer Series campaign. Rassie Erasmus and his men know the Allianz Stadium all too well, and are excited to return to the South West of London this November.
England fans will shudder at the last meeting against the Springboks, as South Africa eliminated Steve Borthwick’s side from the Rugby World Cup. The tightly contested semi-final match went to the wire, yet was decided by the monstrous Springbok scrum and the educated feet of Handre Pollard. Vincent Koch muscled his way to a scrum penalty against Ellis Genge, before the Leicester Tigers fly half nailed the penalty from 45m out for the heart-breaking 16-15 win.
England v Japan – Sunday November 24, 16:10 KO Allianz Stadium, Twickenham

England fans are eagerly awaiting the return of Eddie Jones to the Allianz Stadium, with the former head coach set for his first outing against England on their home soil. Jones has been back to Twickenham since he was sacked from the role in November 2022, as he headed up a Barbarians team led by Alun Wyn Jones, that defeated a World XV side in an end of season exhibition fixture.
Jones has since welcomed his successor Steve Borthwick to the Far East, with the two meeting in Tokyo this past Summer. Borthwick and Jones patrolled their respective technical boxes, as England handed Japan a 52-17 hammering, with the stars of Borthwick’s new era of England in full flight. The likes of Manny Feyi-Waboso and Chandler Cunningham-South got on the score-sheet, as Marcus Smith contributed two assists and a try of his own to boot.
