England vs New Zealand rugby LIVE: Autumn international as it happened

England vs New Zealand
Autumn International
Venue: Twickenham
Kick-off: 3pm GMT

It's very much a case of out of the frying pan and into the fire for England as their Rugby World Cup preparations continue in the autumn international series.

Having overcome an injury crisis and a poor first-half showing to beat South Africa 12-11 last weekend, Eddie Jones' side must now prepare to face the best team in the world.

New Zealand are the visitors to Twickenham on Saturday, with England looking to end a winless run against the All Blacks that stretches back to 2012.

Remarkably, this will be the first time Jones has faced New Zealand as England head coach, and just a year out from the World Cup will provide the clearest indication yet of where his side are.
