What channel is New Zealand v England Summer Internationals 2024 first match on? Kick-off time, TV details and live stream
Check out how to watch New Zealand v England in a Summer Internationals 2024 match, including TV details and more.
England begin a two-Test series against Rugby World Cup finalists New Zealand, heading to Dunedin for the first game of their summer tour.
Steve Borthwick’s side warmed up by dispatching Japan 52-17 with plenty of positives, but face a different beast entirely in the All Blacks. And while the All Blacks still represent one of rugby’s toughest tests, they are in a state of transition as they enter a new era under Scott ‘Razor’ Robertson.
Razor coached Super Rugby side Crusaders to seven consecutive titles and was virtually a shoo-in for the All Blacks job following Ian Foster’s departure. Although there is a sense of nervousness for the Kiwis, who are without the likes of Sam Whitelock, Brodie Retallick, Sam Cane, Aaron Smith and Richie Mo'unga – all are either recently retired or unavailable.
Borthwick has made two changes to the side that crushed an inexperienced Japan side in Tokyo, changing both props as Joe Marler comes in at loosehead and Will Stuart at tighthead. Dan Cole drops to the bench and will make his 114th cap for England, equalling Jason Leonard as England’s joint-second most-capped player of all time behind Ben Youngs.
Marcus Smith retains the 10 shirt with Fin Smith covering him on the bench.

New Zealand v England prediction
Even if Robertson’s All Blacks side will be an unknown quantity to some degree, there will be more than enough world class talent and experience - helmed by a world class coach - to beat England at home.
England are on paper the more settled side and have shown tremendous strides under Borthwick, but enough to beat the All Blacks on home soil? Not yet.
Prediction: New Zealand to win
