Enghland vs Australia
2018 Autumn International
Date: Saturday, 24 November, 2018
Venue: Twickenham
Kick-off time: 3pm GMT

England's final autumn international, and their final game before the start of a Rugby World Cup year, sees old rivals Australia visit Twickenham.

So far, England have narrowly beaten South Africa, lost by a single point to New Zealand, and survived a first-half scare to polish off Japan.

Eddie Jones experimented for the Japan game, making 11 changes to his line-up, but is expected to select his strongest available XV for this final Test.

However, he will be without winger Chris Ashton, who started against New Zealand and Japan but has picked up a calf injury.

When is the game?

The game takes place on Saturday, 24 November, 2018. Kick-off is at 3pm GMT.

Will is be shown on TV?

It will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Main Event and Action channels and is available via Now TV with a day pass on offer for £7.99. Sky Sports subscribers can stream the match online via SkyGo and the SkyGo app.
