Following a poor showing in the series, Stuart Lancaster’s men could be drawn against the likes of France, Australia and New Zealand in the group stages of the World Cup.
Less humble beginnings than in previous tournaments, however teams such as France may arguably find the fixture a true test of their metal.
The All Blacks are unbeaten in twenty tests, prior to Saturdays two thirty kick off at Twickenham. This doesn’t bode well for an England side still reeling from defeats at the hands of Australia and South Africa respectively.
Nevertheless, after only a solitary victory over Fiji during the series, England will be looking to make a statement against the world’s top international rugby union side.
