England to face all three Tri-Nations in 2012

England have announced that they will go head to head with all three Tri-Nations teams in the QBE Internationals at Twickenham next year.

The side will play Fiji first on November 10, followed by Tri-Nations giants Australia and South Africa.

A clash against World Cup winners New Zealand will round off the tough fixtures for England.

"The calibre of opposition at the 2012 QBE Internationals sets up some huge games against very tough sides," said England number eight Nick Easter.

"You've got to beat the best if you want to be the best and that is what England aspires to be. These tests are a massive challenge especially with New Zealand winning the World Cup.

"The southern hemisphere has set the benchmark over the years and we know that they hold dominance so it is always good to pit yourself against them."

The showdown with New Zealand will take place on December 1.
