Ben Youngs: 'New Zealand game the biggest fixture'

England scrum-half Ben Youngs has said that facing the All Blacks is "the biggest fixture for every nation".

New Zealand travel to Twickenham this afternoon for the third and final Autumn International and will face an England side who have won their last two games - 31-12 against Argentina and 20-13 against Australia.

Although Youngs will begin this afternoon's clash as a substitute, the Leicester Tigers scrum-half has said that there is no bigger fixture in world rugby.

"Everyone wants to have a crack at them," Youngs said in his column for The Times. "It is the biggest fixture for every nation. They have that aura about them.

"We have to give 80 minutes — 60 or 70 will not be good enough.

"This is the game everyone has had eyes on, the one when we get to test ourselves against the very best."

England's game against Australia kicks off at 2.30pm.
