A shock awaits Rugby fans for the opening of the autumn tour. England and New Zealand face off at Twickenham this Saturday, November 2 (4:10 p.m.), as part of the Autumn Nation Series.
Revenge in the air
After a summer tour largely in favor of the New Zealanders, doubly victorious against the English who have not beaten them since the semi-finals of the 2019 World Cup, the XV de la Rose intends to put an end to this series . The British coach, Steve Borthwick, will be able to count on Maro Itoje, Marcus Smith, and even Ben Earl. On the All Blacks side, Beauden Barrett regains his place at fly-half, while his brother Scott Barrett will make his return to the second row and regains the captain's armband.
