England confirm Autumn tests

England have confirmed a 2010 autumn Test schedule that will include Twickenham clashes against all three Tri-Nations teams.

Australia are first up for Martin Johnson’s men on November 13, with world champions South Africa arriving two weeks later and then New Zealand on December 4.

The Investec-sponsored series also includes a November 20 appointment with Samoa. All four games will kick off at 2.30pm.

It means England will play Australia three times this year, with two Tests planned Down Under in June when England are also set to face Western Force, Australia A and the New Zealand Maori.
