The fixtures for the 2026/27 Premiership Rugby season have been confirmed, with reigning champions Northampton Saints beginning their title defence at home against Newcastle Red Bulls on Friday, 25th September.
The Nations Championship has already delivered three rounds of competitive international rugby, with some of the world’s leading teams going head-to-head across the opening summer fixtures.
New Zealand produced a clinical display to defeat Ireland 40-21 in Auckland, extending their remarkable 32-year unbeaten record at Eden Park and completing a perfect Nations Championship campaign on home soil.
South Africa continued their dominant Nations Championship campaign with a comprehensive 45-0 victory over Wales in Durban, running in seven tries to secure a bonus-point win and extend their unbeaten run to 11 Tests.
Scotland ended their summer Nations Championship campaign with a hard-fought bonus-point victory over Fiji, recovering from a difficult first half to secure a 33-17 win at Murrayfield.
England survived a dramatic late onslaught from Argentina to secure a thrilling 31-24 victory in the Nations Championship in Santiago del Estero, with the visitors escaping after a controversial final-play decision denied the hosts a potential match-winning score.
England travel to Santiago del Estero looking to finish the tour on a high, with Borthwick resisting the temptation to hand starts to in-form back-row Henry Pollock or newly capped duo Benhard Janse van Rensburg and Noah Caluori.
The hooker was forced off during last weekend’s 35-21 defeat to Argentina in San Juan and had been a doubt for the meeting with the reigning world champions. However, after coming through two training sessions, Lake has been named in the starting XV by head coach Steve Tandy.
Farrell has made nine changes to the side that defeated Japan 36-20 last weekend, restoring many of the players who were rested following the opening win over Australia.
Wales could be without captain Dewi Lake for their Nations Championship fixture against South Africa this weekend, with the hooker racing to overcome a groin injury before Saturday’s meeting in Durban.
