The November internationals kick off this weekend as England host Australia, at the Allianz Stadium, in the first match. We will take a look at the game from a betting angle and highlight a few suggested bets.
England
England come into the November internationals in outstanding form, having lost only once in 2025 – that defeat coming in the opening round of the Six Nations against Ireland. Since then, they’ve reeled off seven consecutive wins, including impressive away victories over France and Argentina. Their most recent outing was a dominant 40–5 victory over the USA in July.

Starting XV: 15 Freddie Steward, 14 Tom Roebuck, 13 Tommy Freeman, 12, Fraser Dingwall, 11 Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, 10 George Ford, 9 Alex Mitchell; 1 Fin Baxter, 2 Jamie George, 3 Joe Heyes, 4 Maro Itoje (c), 5 Ollie Chessum, 6 Guy Pepper, 7 Sam Underhill, 8 Ben Earl.

Australia
Australia’s season has been a mixed bag of highs and lows. Highlights include an historic win over the British & Irish Lions in the third Test of their series, and a victory against South Africa in the opening round of the Rugby Championship. Their latest result was a 19–15 win over Japan in Tokyo last weekend.
Australia starting Lineup
Starting XV: 15 Andrew Kellaway, 14 Max Jorgensen, 13 Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii, 12 Hunter Paisami, 11 Harry Potter, 10 Tane Edmed, 9 Jake Gordon; 1 Angus Bell, 2 Billy Pollard, 3 Taniela Tupou, 4 Nick Frost, 5 Jeremy Williams, 6 Rob Valetini, 7 Fraser McReight, 8 Harry Wilson.

Head-to-head
The last five meetings between these sides have been tightly contested, with England winning three and Australia taking two. Their most recent encounter came in last year’s November Tests, when Australia snatched a thrilling 42–37 victory late on.
Betting and Verdict
England are favourites to win the match and are trading at 1.33 while Australia are trading at 4.00 for the win. The draw is currently at 21.00.
England are clear favourites at around 1.33 for the win, while Australia are trading at approximately 4.00. The draw is available at 21.00.
Both teams enter this clash on the back of solid 2025 campaigns and will be eager to make a statement. England’s winning streak is impressive, but many of those victories came against weaker opposition. Australia have faced sterner tests and pulled off several notable upsets, factors that make them a live underdog once again.
Suggested Bet: Australia to win at 4.00.
In three of the last five matches between the two sides, 47 points or less have been scored although last year was a 79 point thriller. With the teams playing their first match together for a while, some of the chemistry may not be there and with rain about during the day I think the game will be a low scoring one.
Suggested Bet: Total points under 52.5 at 1.91
