England team to face All Blacks in Autumn Nations Series opener

Head coach Steve Borthwick has named his team to take on New Zealand at Allianz Stadium on Saturday 2 November.

Jamie George will lead England as captain, supported by four vice-captains: Maro Itoje, Ben Earl, Ellis Genge and George Ford. Borthwick has opted for a 6-2 split bench.

“We’re excited for the challenge of playing against one of the best teams in world rugby,” he said. “We’ll need to be accurate, keep our discipline, and maintain a level of intensity throughout the match, from the first whistle to the final moment.

"With just two games at Allianz Stadium in our last 15, it’s fantastic to be returning to play in front of our home crowd again. The energy and passion of our supporters always give the team an extra lift.”
