RUGBY League’s world champions New Zealand are to face England at Huddersfield’s Galpharm Stadium.

The game, which is part of the season-ending Four Nations tournament which also involves Australia and France, will be staged at the ground in the first week of November.

The first round of fixtures are to be staged over the weekend of October 24-25 with Harlequins’ Stoop ground hosting a repeat of last year’s World Cup final between Australia and New Zealand.

England’s campaign in the round-robin tournament opens against France at the Keepmoat Stadium in Doncaster.

The final of the tournament will be played at Elland Road, Leeds, on Saturday, November 14.
