New Zealand head coach Dave Rennie has selected a squad bolstered by several injury returns, including Jordie Barrett, Richie Mo'unga, and Anton Lienert-Brown. The squad features two uncapped players, prop Saula Ma’u and flyhalf Josh Jacomb. Notably, Leicester Fainga'anuku has been transitioned from a back to a loose forward position. The All Blacks will face Scotland, Wales, and England in November.

England head coach Steve Borthwick has also finalized a 36-man training squad amidst significant injury concerns. Joe Marchant and Will Joseph have been recalled to the midfield, while players such as Seb Atkinson and Immanuel Feyi-Waboso are currently undergoing rehabilitation. England's schedule includes matches against Australia, Japan, and New Zealand, concluding with the championship finals at Twickenham.
