Rivalries reunite as Twickenham showdown kicks off epic November of Test Rugby – International rugby makes a thrilling return this weekend with the Wallabies set for a huge clash against England kicking off a not to be missed four week European tour.
The showdown forms part of a massive month of Test rugby as the Quilter Nations Series takes centre stage. The series will be Europe v the rest of the world, bringing together rugby’s elite with all Six Nations and Rugby Championship teams, alongside rising powers such as Japan, Tonga, Fiji and the USA. Stan Sport is the only place to watch all 22 matches live and exclusive.
It’s a high stakes tour for the Wallabies. With just four more Tests left in 2025, the men in gold are eager to improve their current world ranking of seventh before pools are locked in for Rugby World Cup 2027 on home soil.
The Wallabies have made eight changes to the side that defeated Japan last week, welcoming back stars including Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii, Max Jorgensen and Taniela Tupou. England, meanwhile, are placing their trust in veteran playmaker George Ford to marshal the home team.
The visitors will be chasing a repeat of their heroic 42-37 win over England at Twickenham last year, when Max Jorgensen sealed the win with an unforgettable match-winning try.
Coverage begins at 1:30am AEDT this Sunday 2 November live and exclusive on Stan Sport. Host Michael Atkinson will be joined by former Wallabies Michael Hooper, Tim Horan, Morgan Turinui and Justin Harrison, with Lou Ransome reporting from the sideline and Sean Maloney calling all the action.
Following the clash with England, the Wallabies continue their tour with matches against Italy (9 November), Ireland (16 November) and France (23 November).
Also not to be missed is a historic encounter on American soil, “The Rematch”, as Ireland and the All Blacks reignite their fierce rivalry at Chicago’s Soldier Field for The Gallagher Cup, returning to the scene of their iconic 2016 showdown.
The international rugby forms part of a massive weekend of action on Stan Sport, with the Premier League and Women’s Super League also live and exclusive across the weekend.
