England heading back to Jersey ahead of All Blacks, Springboks Tests

England will return to Jersey as they prepare for an autumn international series featuring matches against World Cup rivals New Zealand and South Africa.

Eddie Jones's squad will be in the Channel Island for five days from 26 October and will be based at Jersey Reds, where they spent last year's camp, which preceded a clean sweep of wins against Tonga, Australia and the Springboks.

"We're looking forward to getting started and these camps will be crucial preparation for big games this autumn," said England coach Jones on Wednesday.

"We have 13 Tests before the World Cup so each game is a great learning opportunity and a chance to keep moving forward for this young team. It's vital that we keep building our cohesion and adapting tactically."

The Australian added: "We enjoyed our time in Jersey last year, it has excellent facilities and the island is a great setting for a productive training camp.

"It helped us lay the foundations for a successful autumn campaign and we want for more of the same this year."

The start of England's autumn schedule mirrors the one they will have at next year's World Cup in France, with their opening two matches against Argentina and Japan.

On 19 November, they face the currently struggling New Zealand, who have dropped to fifth in the global rankings, before finishing their Twickenham programme with the visit of South Africa -- the team that beat England in the 2019 World Cup final in Japan.

"Our game is based on the traditional strengths of set-piece and physicality so we are aiming to set the tone in November, starting with an impressive Argentina team," Jones said.
