Rugby: All Blacks to play at Twickenham

The All Blacks will play a test match and contest the Hillary Shield against England at the end of their northern tour next year.

Last night, the Rugby Football Union (RFU) announced the All Blacks would be the last of four nations to face England at home as part of their internationals in November and December.

England will also play Fiji, Australia and South Africa at Twickenham before facing the All Blacks on December 1.

New Zealand Rugby Union chief executive Steve Tew welcomed the match as the continuation of a great new tradition to compete for the shield, named in honour of Sir Edmund Hillary.

The test against England is in addition to the All Blacks' IRB scheduled three-match tour to the northern hemisphere in November next year.

The NZRU is yet to announce the fixtures for this part of the tour.
