England's 2022 Autumn Nations Series schedule announced

The recent announcement of England’s 2022 Autumn Nations Series schedule sees them gain some much-valued experience ahead of the 2023 World Cup in France as they will do battle with two teams (Argentina & Japan) whom they will meet again in the opening two rounds of the latter tournament. 

 It will be a tough month for Eddie Jones’ charges who, after Los Pumas and the Brave Blossoms, will do battle with the All Blacks and World Champion Springboks. 

The schedule: 

• England v Argentina     Sunday      6 November 2022                           
• England v Japan           Saturday 12 November 2022                      
• England v New Zealand Saturday 19 November 2022                      
• England v South Africa  Saturday 26 November 2022 

“These fixtures will be a really important part of our preparation for the 2023 World Cup," Jones said.   

“It’s almost a mini World Cup in itself and we’re fortunate to have it less than a year before the tournament.  It will be a good litmus test for the team to see where we are at, culminating in playing first and second in the world. We saw how much of a difference having a full Twickenham Stadium was this autumn and we can’t wait to play a series of games against such quality opposition in front of our supporters.”
