England confirm tour of New Zealand this summer, full schedule revealed for home nations

These matches hold added significance as they mark potentially the final time they'll be held in their traditional calendar slot, with the upcoming British & Irish Lions Tour next year and the announcement of the inaugural World Rugby Nations Championship in 2026, slated across the July and November international windows.

With the opportunity to clinch historic series victories, the anticipation builds as we delve into the match-ups for this summer.

England kicks off their tour with a clash against Japan in June, followed by a much-anticipated trip to New Zealand, marking their first visit since 2014. Both teams are in transition, having seen key players retire post-World Cup, alongside New Zealand's introduction of new head coach Scott Robertson.

Ireland gears up for a rematch against reigning world champions South Africa, reminiscent of their intense World Cup group-stage encounter. A battle between two of rugby's toughest and most skillful teams promises an epic showdown.

Under Warren Gatland's guidance, a rejuvenated Wales heads Down Under to take on Australia. With both teams aiming to regain their former glory, victory is crucial for momentum.

France embarks on a tour of Argentina for two test matches, aiming to secure a series win against familiar foes. However, they'll miss the influential Antoine Dupont, who is focusing on preparations for the Olympic Sevens tournament.

Scotland's sights are set on a tour of the Pacific islands, promising an entertaining clash against some of rugby's most dynamic teams.

Italy rounds off the lineup with a tour of North America, facing off against Canada and the USA, in what promises to be an exciting series.

Telegraph 5/10: "The try covered a multitude of sins - from George North running straight through him, to not holding his line before passing to Daly."

Planet Rugby 6/10: "Not a huge carrying threat but a smart operator. Took his try well and is a good distributor on the gain line, although he needs to show more in the rest of the Six Nations."

Replacement: Ollie Lawrence or Manu Tuilagi (If fit)

Evening Standard 6/10: "Showed his inexperience at the level for his yellow card, but recovered as the game progressed."

Telegraph 5/10: "Struggled to match the heights of last week, losing the ball in contact deep inside the Welsh 22 before conceding a penalty and yellow card for killing a maul."

Planet Rugby 4/10: "A great debut last week but not so good this time around. The yellow card was needless as all he had to do was hold them up as he had got onto the ball."

Replacement: Chandler Cunningham-South

Planet Rugby 5/10: "Much quieter than last weekend. Didn’t really get the opportunity to run but he was a useful chasing option."

Rugby Pass 6/10: "Unable to follow up his livewire Stadio Olimpico effort with another eye-catching display. Still had some good moments, namely his scramble defence."

Guardian 5/10: "A try-saving tackle on Josh Adams was a highlight but denied chances to repeat the attacking threat shown in Rome."

Replacement: Immanuel Feyi-Waboso 

Rugby Pass 6/10: "Didn’t shirk his tackle load with England under the first-half pump and had a lively second-half start before exiting on 52 minutes."

Rugby Dump 5/10: "Hauled off in the 50th minute after struggling to impose his mountable size over the young welsh pack."

Planet Rugby 5/10: "The scrum was not really a factor while he was on the field thanks to some smart (possibly underhand) tactics from the Welsh."

Replacement: Ellis Genge

Rugby Pass 7//10: "England needed a hurry up when he was introduced on 52 and he gave them that and more. A very energetic effort."
