England faces New Zealand in a crucial match this Saturday at Twickenham Stadium. This match represents, possibly, the best opportunity for England to defeat the All Blacks since 2019.
Coach Steve Borthwick has selected a strong 23-player squad, including several British and Irish Lions, as well as a solid bench ready to impact the game.For their part, the All Blacks arrive with some significant absences, although Scott Barrett returns for this match. New Zealand has had a season with ups and downs.
This match is shaping up to be the most relevant of the autumn, with England seeking revenge after last year’s 24-22 defeat in the same place. A victory on Saturday would be a great confidence boost for Borthwick’s team, demonstrating their progress. The All Blacks, perhaps feeling they escaped with the victory last week against Scotland, will seek to prove their worth. An exciting match is expected in southwest London.
