England's Autumn 2025: The Big Test at Allianz Stadium

As the leaves turn and the air carries that unmistakable autumn chill, rugby fans gear up for one of the most eagerly awaited periods of the international calendar: the 2025 Quilter Nations Series.

For the England Rugby team, it’s a home-month extravaganza - four massive tests at Twickenham’s Allianz Stadium, each against a southern-hemisphere powerhouse. Over the coming weeks, England will take on Australia, Fiji, New Zealand, and Argentina in what promises to be a thrilling showcase of international rugby.

Let’s take a closer look at each opponent - what makes them tough, why these matches will be special, and what England will need to do to make it a successful autumn.

England v Australia - Saturday 1 November

The Wallabies remain one of the most unpredictable sides in world rugby - tactically flexible, physical at the breakdown, and lightning-quick in broken play. They’ve been building consistency and cohesion, and any team that allows them space will be punished. England will need to bring sharp defensive alignment and composure under pressure.

There’s a rich history of drama between England and Australia. From Rugby World Cup classics to gritty autumn encounters, this is a rivalry that never fails to deliver. Expect fast tempo, big hits, and plenty of emotion at a packed Allianz Stadium.

England’s key to success

• Control the breakdown and slow Australia’s ball

• Be clinical in attack - take points when they’re on offer

• Keep discipline and avoid unnecessary penalties

• Use the crowd energy to maintain intensity for 80 minutes

England v Fiji - Saturday 8 November

Fiji bring flair, pace, and unpredictability like no other team. Their off-loading game and natural instinct in open play make them a joy to watch - but a nightmare to defend. When they click, they can hurt anyone.

Fans love watching the Flying Fijians because of their style. It’s rugby at its most expressive. England will need to find the balance between respecting their attacking brilliance and imposing their own structured game. This could be one of the most entertaining fixtures of the series.

England’s key to success

• Maintain defensive discipline and organisation

• Keep possession and build pressure through phases and a strong set-piece

• Be physical in contact, superb tackle technique to stop Fiji’s off-loads

• Finish clinically when chances arise

England v New Zealand - Saturday 15 November

The All Blacks are still the ultimate test. They combine skill, power, and mental toughness in equal measure. Facing them is a measure of where any team stands on the global stage. England will need to be near-perfect in execution to take them down.

When England and New Zealand meet, the rugby world watches. It’s a clash of history, pride, and precision. Expect physical confrontations, tactical chess, and moments of brilliance from both sides.

England’s key to success

• Execute flawlessly at set-piece and maintain discipline

• Stay composed and stay within a score under relentless pressure

• Dominate territory through smart kicking

• Match New Zealand’s intensity for the full 80 minutes

4. England v Argentina - Sunday 23 November

Los Pumas have evolved into one of the toughest and most resilient teams in test rugby. They combine South American passion with European-style structure, making them a serious challenge for any opponent.

It’s the final match of the series - and often the most decisive. Expect fierce collisions, passionate support, and an England team eager to finish their autumn on a high. Argentina will bring a physical edge that demands full commitment.

England’s key to success

• Match Argentina’s physicality up front

• Keep calm when the game becomes scrappy

• Build scoreboard pressure early to control momentum

• Use substitutions smartly to finish strong
