England to face New Zealand in three-match 2018 Test series

Drew Darbyshire

England will host New Zealand in a three-match Test series in Autumn 2018.

The 2017 Rugby League World Cup semi-finalists will come up against the Kiwis for the first time since the narrow 17-16 defeat in front of a sell-out crowd in the Four Nations a year ago.

The Three Lions will be looking to repeat the 2015 Test series, when skipper Sean O’Loughlin led the team to a 2-1 series victory.

Dates and venues for the autumn series will be announced at 12pm on Wednesday 22 November when tickets will also go on sale for the games.

England face Tonga in the semi-finals of the World Cup this weekend while the Kiwis will be looking to put a disappointing 2017 World Cup behind them in the 2018 Test series.

Members of the ‘OuRLeague’ app will receive a £5 discount for all ticket categories when bought through the membership website or app.
