Rugby Union enthusiasts looking for an exciting start to the 2024 Autumn Nations Series are in for a treat. England will take on New Zealand at Twickenham, promising an electrifying match as the teams, ranked third and fifth in the World Rugby Rankings, clash once again following their summer Test series.
After finishing third in this year’s Six Nations Championship, England traveled with their strongest team to face the All Blacks in Dunedin and Auckland. In the first test, Steve Borthwick’s team put up an impressive fight but narrowly lost 16-15. In the second test, a pair of tries from Mark Tele'a and a series of late penalties from Damian McKenzie secured a 24-17 win for New Zealand, clinching the series.
Since then, the All Blacks have faced setbacks during a challenging Rugby Championship season. Despite this, they managed to secure second place with three victories and three defeats. World champions South Africa demonstrated their dominance over New Zealand by winning both encounters, easily clinching the Rugby Championship title. Additionally, under Scott Robertson's leadership, the team experienced an unexpected home loss to Argentina in the opening round.
