How to watch England v New Zealand on TNT and Discovery+

by · Wales Online

The northern hemisphere's greatest rugby nations welcome the southern hemisphere's elite in the autumn internationals.

There's no better way to kick things off other than England v New Zealand in the country where it all started. It'll see arguably the master of the craft - New Zealand - take on the very country that created the game - England.

England prop Joe Marler has been stirring the pot this week, criticising the place of the All Blacks' haka in the game. He has since deactivated his X account, before reactivating it to explain that he was just trying to hype up the clash - not that it needed it.

What have the coaches said?

England head coach Steve Borthwick: "With just two games at Allianz Stadium in our last 15, it's fantastic to return to our home crowd. The energy and passion of our supporters always give the team an extra lift."

Borthwick on Henry Slade: "Sladey is a really important player for us. He’s an experienced Test match player and he’s in fantastic condition. With the shoulder surgery he’s had, he’s been able to be run. He’s as fit as I’ve ever seen him. He feels in great shape. He’s a player who is energised and he’ll go really well on Saturday."

New Zealand head coach Scott Robertson: "They've got some great shape. They've got some great outside backs, but there's also the tactical side and the territory. There are all those aspects, but you know they will play, and that's what we're here for. We know their strengths. We know what they can create with quick ball, and the little nuances that make them different, that's why they're in the England team. We understand what they bring, that's part of our preparation."
