LONDON: Australia and Argentina will get a chance of revenge next year for defeats by Six Nations Grand Slam winners England in the November Tests, it was announced by the Rugby Football Union on Wednesday.

England -- who have won all their 13 Tests this year under Australian coach Eddie Jones who took over after the debacle of exiting the 2015 World Cup at the first hurdle-- will play the Pumas on November 11 and the Wallabies a week later.

The team round off their autumn series with a rare Test against Samoa on November 25. All the games will be at Twickenham.

England -- shorn of the players due to go on the British and Irish Lions tour of New Zealand -- will warm up for a two Test series in Argentina in June with a match against the Barbarians on May 28.
