Is Australia vs England on TV? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch international today

England take on Australia in the first of three Test matches Down Under with Eddie Jones’ side eager for redemption after a humbling at the hands of the Barbarians.

The Red Rose will be confident despite their recent Twickenham thrashing, knowing they hold an eight-game win streak over the Wallabies under Jones.

But the doubts over his future as England coach refuse to go away, but with a positive start ahead of trips to Brisbane and Sydney, the mood can quickly change.

This series will also serve as a marker for next year’s 2023 Rugby World Cup in France, something Jones is accutely aware of: “I think every international coach is under pressure,” Jones said. “I’m under pressure because we haven’t had results good enough, that’s obvious. Our expectations are high, the media’s expectations are high, everyone’s expectations high and that’s OK. Dave (Wallabies coach Dave Rennie) is under pressure, across the ditch they’re (Foster) under pressure . . . that’s part of the job that we like and enjoy and accept the responsibilities of that pressure.”
