Great news, rugby fans: November marks the return of the Autumn Internationals! This year, England is hosting Argentina, Japan, New Zealand, and South Africa at Twickenham throughout the month, starting with the Pumas on November 6, while the other Home Nations teams also have full schedules of games including cracking match-ups between Ireland v South Africa and Wales v Australia. 

While the games themselves are enough to be excited about, the 2022 series is the final time that the Northern Hemisphere teams can test themselves against the best of the rest before next year’s world cup in France. It's also be the first time the Red Roses have faced the All Blacks in three years.

To celebrate the return of international rugby, Charles Tyrwhitt has opened ‘The Tyrwhitt Arms’ in Covent Garden (aka The Nags Head). The official formalwear partner to the England rugby team, Charles Tyrwhitt offers an exclusive collection of England Rugby clothing and accessories as part of its Tyrwhitt Supporter Collection. But fear not – it hasn't transformed the famous central London sports pub into a clothes shop.

For the England matches against Japan (November 12) and New Zealand (November 19), it will be showing the games at The Tyrwhitt Arms. But this isn’t your standard screening of a rugby match where you have to secure your seat hours in advance and still watch the action unfold through the back of someone’s head. 

Hosted on November 12 by England rugby legend Martin Bayfield, and on November 19 by former rugby pro and 2003 World Cup winner Matt Dawson, the events will include half-time discussions like you’d get on TV, and a pre-match pub quiz complete with prizes worth up to £500. If that wasn’t enough, a ticket also includes free food and drinks, and, crucially, a seat with a guaranteed great view of the pub’s big screens.

Grab a ticket for you and three mates now and prepare to enjoy the best England rugby viewing experience this side of Twickenham.
