SA to meet EN on November, 3rd,2018

England will size themselves up to nations like SA, NZ,JA and AU during their November test in 2018.

Could be another nail in the coffin for SA as EN planned them as an appetizer before facing their main opponent for WC victory.

It was just announced that the ABs will also play England in November 2018 (Twickenham of course), they last played in 2014 - too long.

 Allmost if it's scripted...but lots can and do change in rug by in a year's time.

 Probably England dodging playing the ABs.
Trying to build a winning culture.Boks were hammering them before their new coach.Lots of strategy.Looking at one version of the 2019 world Cup draw it seems the Boks have possibly Ireland in quarters and Wales in semi.England possibly Aussie and then NZ in semi.Know lots can happen but just looking at seedings.

 England also play 3 test here in June,getting really b old the Pommies

 
You obviously don't rate the Poms much, Rover.

Why would they dodge the All Blacks? The All Blacks haven't been this vulnerable for many years. Hansen's lost the plot and Eddie Jones can easily be regarded as the best coach on the planet today.

It's been a long time since we last had the Poms here. Will be good to see them on our shores again. I hope they send a strong team and not  the depleted rubbish we've seen from Europe after their busy season. 

South Africa won't be much of a threat if they continue as they are.

 Four years gap in playing the ABs ,definitely playing it cautious. 
Abs don't mind playing anyone ,anywhere.England need another Martin Johnson to win the world Cup,this tip-toeing around the Abs  might help building up some wins but yea, hope the series is a feast next June.

 It is expected that EN will field as few non white players as possible. EN wants to keep rugby worldwide and allowing a direct comparison betwen their rugby make up and SA rugby make up will not be the best selling point.
