London Calling
International rugby is back in the capital - and we have an absolute cracker to start the Autumn schedule.
England go head-to-head with the All Black once again, hosting New Zealand at Twickenham for the first time since 2022.
Steve Borthwick's men battled hard in two closely fought Test matches against the Kiwis in Auckland earlier this year.
Ultimately they came up short in both, but will be hopeful the rebuild under Borthwick's new-look coaching staff will start to take shape today.
These two nations have faced off at Twickenham just once since 2018, a pulsating 25-25 draw in November 2022.
When these two meet, it's never dull.
A packed out Home of Rugby, a chill in the air and two teams going hell for leather in the first match of the Autumn.
It promises to be a cracker, let's get you some team news.
