Extra match against Australia added for November

Steve Borthwick will have to forgo a crucial training camp and guide England into this year's autumn internationals with a week's less preparation after the Rugby Football Union arranged an extra lucrative November Test against Australia.

England habitually play three autumn internationals in the same year as a British & Irish Lions tour but the RFU arranged a fourth, which could generate up to £10m in revenue, after its latest accounts reported record losses to reserves of £42m.
