England Summer Internationals 2026

England opened their inaugural Nations Championship campaign with a 45-21 defeat to South Africa in Johannesburg, before bouncing back with an emphatic 73-8 victory over Fiji in Liverpool.

Steve Borthwick's side rounded off the summer series with a dramatic 31-24 victory over Argentina in Santiago del Estero, holding off a late Pumas fightback to claim the win.
