England vs Japan live stream: How to watch 2024 Autumn Internationals rugby
Eddie Jones' Twickenham return promises a fiery encounter
England have lost five matches in a row and would ordinarily fancy their chances against Japan, against whom they hold a 100% record. The hosts' outspoken former head coach is in the opposite dugout, however, and he has a point to prove. Keep reading as we explain your England vs Japan live stream options and how you can watch the rugby from anywhere in the world with a VPN.

England's recent difficulties in getting over the line — both literally and metaphorically — are well documented. Unable to turn territory into tries and see out games in which they're leading, Steve Borthwick's side have lost five in a row and haven't won since beating Japan 52-17 in the summer. Tom Curry is expected to return to the squad after overcoming concussion protocols, but Immanuel Feyi-Waboso has not and misses out.
Japan are rebuilding, but come into this one off the back of a 36-20 victory over Uruguay last weekend, putting memories of a 52-12 drubbing at the hands of France a fortnight ago on the back burner. There will be plenty of chat in the build-up about Eddie Jones, whose seven-year spell in charge of England has come under recent scrutiny for the 'toxic' environment the head coach fostered in the dressing room. The Australian would love nothing more than to inflict an Autumn Internationals whitewash on his erstwhile charges.
Can England get back to winning ways or will the returning Jones bite the hand that once fed him? Read on to see your England vs Japan live stream options and how to watch 2024 Autumn International rugby from anywhere.
