New Zealand were defeated 35-28 by Wales, marking their first loss to the Welsh since 1953. Both New Zealand and England are competing for a place in the Nations Championship final the following weekend.

England defeated Japan 78-15 at Twickenham on Saturday in preparation for their upcoming All Blacks fixture. Wing Will Joseph scored five tries in the match, equalling the national record for tries in a single game. Joseph was playing in only his second cap and Twickenham debut.

Former Wallabies coach Eddie Jones warned England to prepare for a physical response from New Zealand following their loss to Wales. 'They're violent after losing. Very violent, very physical,' Jones said. 'New Zealand will be back to their old selves next weekend - hard, tough and physical around the breakdown.' He added that New Zealand would be 'massively disappointed' with their performance against Wales.

England captain Maro Itoje backed Joseph to challenge the record for most tries in a single game, suggesting the team had discussed the possibility on the bench during the Japan match.
