From the roar of the crowd to the refined ambience in hospitality suites, every element enhances the experience. The Green Room has once again played a central role, offering a premium setting to entertain, connect, and enjoy the action. Whether hosting clients or spending the day with friends and guests, these moments spark meaningful conversations and memories that linger long after the full-time experience.

ENGLAND’S AUTUMN NATIONS SERIES 2025: A STATEMENT OF STRENGTH
England’s performance this autumn has been remarkable:
England vs Australia
The campaign opened with a convincing 25–7 win. Replacements like Henry Pollock made a real impact, turning the tide in the second half.
England vs Fiji
At Twickenham, England secured a 38–18 victory. Powerful finishes from Luke Cowan-Dickie, Ellis Genge, Jamie George, and Henry Arundell, combined with Marcus Smith’s composure, sealed the win.
England vs New Zealand
The highlight of the series came with a 33–19 triumph over the All Blacks. England overcame a 12–0 deficit with drop-goals from George Ford and tries from Sam Underhill, Fraser Dingwall, and Tom Roebuck, achieving their first home win over New Zealand in years.
England vs Argentina
In a dramatic finale, England edged out the Pumas 27–23. Max Ojomoh’s try and Henry Slade’s late score proved crucial in a tense second-half comeback.
Completing a perfect four-from-four series, England extended their winning streak to 11 matches, demonstrating consistency, depth, and resilience at the highest level.
LOOKING AHEAD: WELCOMING THE NATIONS CHAMPIONSHIP IN 2026
The launch of the inaugural Nations Championship in 2026 signals a bold new chapter in international rugby. This high-stakes competition brings together the top 12 rugby nations in a biennial global showdown, creating a fresh narrative around hemispheric dominance. The new championship format is set to begin in July 2026.
Teams & Format
The championship features six Six Nations countries—England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland, and Wales—alongside SANZAAR nations: South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, and Argentina, plus two invitational Southern Hemisphere teams: Fiji and Japan.
Each team plays six matches: three in July and three in November. Northern Hemisphere teams travel south in July, while Southern Hemisphere teams return north in November. Points accumulate across both windows, awarding 4 for a win, 2 for a draw, and bonus points for scoring four or more tries or losing by seven points or fewer.
Finals Weekend
Teams are ranked within their hemisphere, leading to a three-day Finals Weekend at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham. Top-ranked teams compete for the inaugural Nations Championship, while other rankings contest for pride and positioning.
Biennial Event
Held every two years in even-numbered years, the Nations Championship avoids clashes with the Rugby World Cup or British & Irish Lions tours, ensuring regular high-level, cross-hemisphere Test rugby for fans.
