    England to play All Blacks in November

    England to play All Blacks in November

    From correspondents in London, England
    January 24, 2008

    RUGBY World Cup runners-up England will play New Zealand in a Test at Twickenham on November 29, subject to approval from the International Rugby Board.

    England open their November series of four matches against the Pacific Islanders before playing Australia and South Africa on consecutive weekends.

    Yeah, we're playing SA on June 19th (I think)

    How many tests are NZ playing this year, Four Tri-Nations matches, Hong Kong, Twickenham, and surely they've arranged at least one slaughter series at home before they get into the hard stuff!

    I had it in my head that they were taking on the Irish once and English twice in June. They still seem to be sorting out the EOYT, but you'd expect probably four matches...make it about 13/14 for the year (3 in June, 6 in TN, 3 or 4 on EOYT, 1 in HK)?
