Australian rugbys most heated rivalry is gearing up for an encore

performance, when Twickenham Stadium hosts Eddie v Cheik, round
three, in November next year.

Thats England v Australia in the November internationals, of

course. Except that after four brutal encounters in the ring this year,
the sparring of the coaches has been as hot a ticket to watch as the
rugby.

Eddie Jones, spurned former Wallabies Six Nations Rugby 2017 Live
coach leading an England renaissance, has delivered his old
Randwick teammate Michael Cheika four lessons in on- and off-field
tactics this year. England downed the Wallabies in three straight
Tests in June, and again on the latters spring tour, while Jones
demonstrated why a decade in international rugby and all the
accompanying successes and failures have him at the top of his
coaching game.

Now, Cheika and the Wallabies have the opportunity to salvage

some pride after the RFU announced England would host Argentina,
Australia, and Samoa next November. It is a year to wait, but the
Wallabies will play at least nine Tests next season, including three
more bites at the Bledisloe Cup and a first ever Test against Japan
on Japanese soil, before darkening Englands door on November 18.

These block of matches are an important step in our preparations

for the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan and we look forward to
playing in the 2017 series against three tough opponents in
Argentina, Australia and Samoa, Jones said.

The Australian Rugby Union announced a November 4 fixture

against Japan on Thursday. The Japan Rugby Union will pay the ARU
a fee to play at a yet-to-be-announced venue, which will be an
important warm-up fixture for the union in the lead-up to the 2019
World Cup. Australia last played a Test in Japan in 2009, when the
Wallabies lost a Bledisloe Cup match against the All Blacks 32-19 in
Tokyo. It will have been a decade since the two nations last met in a
Test fixture, after the Wallabies notched a 91-3 win in Lyon, France,
at the 2007 World Cup.

Despite the coaching fireworks off the field, the Australia-England

clash is not the fixture the rugby world is waiting for. Now it will not
be until at least 2018 that New Zealands All Blacks pit themselves
against the second best team in the world.
