Eddie Jones' side kick off their 2022 autumn schedule
against
Argentina at Twickenham on November 6, followed by Japan six days later
in an early marker for the World Cup with all three sides in the same group.
England then host New Zealand on November 19, which will be
a first meeting with the All Blacks since Jones' men beat them in the 2019
World Cup semi-finals.
The series is completed with a rematch with world champions
South Africa on November 26, who England beat 27-26 with a last-minute penalty
last month.
"These fixtures will be a really important part of our
preparation for the 2023 World Cup," said Jones.
"It's almost a mini
World Cup in itself, and we are
fortunate to have it less than a year before the tournament.
"It will be a good litmus test for the team to see
where we are at, culminating in playing first and second in the world."
