A refreshed scores page can show a live reading that no longer applies, so this page separates the settled full-time results from the open questions. Planet Rugby (specialist rugby outlet) reports England beating Australia 45-22 at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham, on Sunday 8 November 2026, the latest completed match in the sources retrieved, and every score below carries its date.

Six rows, one pattern: the scores are the settled part, while the clock, the kick-off and the table are not.

Who won today’s rugby match?
England’s 45-22 win over Australia is the most recent completed match in the sources. ESPN Australia (sports media outlet) lists it under Nations Championship results, and Rugby 365 (rugby results service) marks the same score as full time. Planet Rugby (specialist rugby outlet) calls it England’s highest-ever score against Australia.
No source in the evidence names a match played tonight. Whether that score counts as today’s result depends on a current date the retrieved material does not state, and its latest dated entry is 8 November 2026.
Who won the rugby league last night?
- The retrieved sources contain no rugby league result.
- Rugby league is a separate code from rugby union, so the England and Ireland results above do not answer the question.
The full-time score is the figure to trust on this page, but a refresh taken mid-match can show a score that no longer applies. Check the status label before repeating any score.
The implication: a league question sent to a union results page gets the wrong sport, and the evidence cannot fill that gap.
What were the scores of the rugby matches tonight?
None of these scores is confirmed as tonight’s match. Each result carries the date the sources give for it.
Round four ran from Friday 6 November to Sunday 8 November 2026, and the list below runs in date order.
- Ireland 42, Argentina 12, Aviva Stadium, Dublin, Friday 6 November 2026 (Nations Championship official site (tournament organiser))
- Italy 7, South Africa 66, Turin, Saturday 7 November 2026 (NAMPA / AFP (international news wire))
- Scotland 21, New Zealand 43, Murrayfield, Saturday 7 November 2026 (Livesport (sports results service))
- Wales 28, Japan 21, Cardiff, Saturday 7 November 2026 (Livesport (sports results service))
- France 54, Fiji 17, Lyon, Saturday 7 November 2026 (NAMPA / AFP (international news wire))
- England 45, Australia 22, Allianz Stadium, Twickenham, Sunday 8 November 2026 (ESPN Australia (sports media outlet))
South Africa’s 59-point margin over Italy is the widest of the four Saturday results, and Wales’s seven-point win over Japan is the narrowest. Margins make a scoreboard look decisive, yet none of them shows where a team sits in the table.
The pattern: the 59-point margin is the largest of round four so far, and a margin says nothing about the standings, which need their own dated source.
What are the results of the Nations rugby matches?
Round one opened on 4 July 2026, and the sources show two results from that day. Round four, covered in the list above, carries the most recent scores in the evidence.
Round one results from that day:
- South Africa 45, England 21 (All.Rugby (rugby fixtures database))
- New Zealand 34, France 32 (All.Rugby (rugby fixtures database))
The trade-off: a July scoreline says little about November’s standings, so the two rounds should be read separately.
Timeline of the Nations Championship so far
- : round-one results listed above (All.Rugby (rugby fixtures database))
- : Ireland beat Argentina 42-12 in Dublin, opening round four (Nations Championship official site (tournament organiser))
- : four matches played, with scores in the list above (NAMPA / AFP (international news wire))
- : England beat Australia 45-22 at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham, the latest completed result in the sources (ESPN Australia (sports media outlet))
- : England’s next listed fixture, England v Japan (Sportytrader (sports results site))
The implication: the sequence is clear for the played matches, and the England v Japan date is the only forward-looking entry.
Who wins the Six Nations?
The retrieved sources do not cover the Six Nations, so they cannot name a leader in it. The table below comes from the Nations Championship, which is a separate competition.
What are the current Six Nations standings?
- No Six Nations table appears in the sources. The nearest figures are for the Nations Championship: according to Sofascore (sports statistics aggregator), France top the table on 17 points after four matches, followed by Ireland on 15, Scotland 11, England 10, Wales 10 and Italy 0.
- NAMPA / AFP (international news wire) lists France on four played, three won, none drawn, one lost, 170 points scored and 92 conceded.
The catch: the two sources are not reconciled in the evidence, and Sofascore is a tier 3 aggregator, so treat the table as provisional.
Who won the final in rugby?
The sources name no final winner, and no champion is named with a dated source.
Who won the rugby champion?
- No champion appears in the retrieved sources for the Nations Championship.
- The Six Nations and the Nations Championship are different tournaments, and the sources do not link the two.
Why this matters: a champion named without a date and a source would repeat the error this page is trying to avoid.
Confirmed facts and what’s unclear
Confirmed facts
- England’s win over Australia is listed as full time (ESPN Australia (sports media outlet))
- Ireland’s win over Argentina is in the official Nations Championship listing (Nations Championship official site (tournament organiser))
- South Africa 66, Italy 7 in Turin on 7 November 2026 (NAMPA / AFP (international news wire))
What’s unclear
- Which match, if any, is tonight’s, since the sources do not give the current date
- The live BBC reading of England 31-10 at 57 minutes, superseded by full time (BBC Sport (UK public broadcaster))
- The England v Australia kick-off time, which the sources list differently (ITS Rugby (rugby fixtures site))
- Whether the Sofascore and NAMPA standings agree; no official table was retrieved
- The Six Nations winner and standings; no table appears in the sources
- The final winner and champion; no dated source names one
- Whether “rugby league last night” refers to any league fixture, since none appears in the sources
The scores are the most settled part of this page, while the question of “tonight” is the least settled. A reader who wants one winner should check the date first and the score second.
What this means: three results are confirmed across the sources, and the open questions outnumber them, so a single answer to “who won tonight” would overstate what the evidence supports.
What the sources say
Planet Rugby reports England’s 45-22 win over Australia at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham, on Sunday evening in round four of the Nations Championship, and calls it England’s highest-ever score against Australia.
Planet Rugby (specialist rugby outlet)
ESPN Australia reports that Henry Pollock starred in England’s 45-22 record rout of Australia, easing pressure on coach Steve Borthwick.
ESPN Australia (sports media outlet)
The pattern: two outlets describe the same England result in different terms, and both treat the 45-22 score as settled.
What to take from round four
England’s 45-22 win over Australia (ESPN Australia (sports media outlet)) and Ireland’s 42-12 win over Argentina (Nations Championship official site (tournament organiser)) are the two round-four scores that readers can treat as settled. The standings are the weakest part of the picture, because the Sofascore table and the NAMPA excerpt do not yet agree. For readers checking scores tonight, the choice is clear: trust the dated full-time results, or wait for an official table before naming a Nations Championship leader.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I check the latest full-time scores?
Rugby 365 (rugby results service) lists round-four results as full time, so start there and check the match date beside each score.
What does FT mean in a rugby score?
FT stands for full time, the final score after the referee ends the match. A live reading taken mid-match is a snapshot, not a result.
Who won the Nations Championship?
The sources name no champion. According to Sofascore (sports statistics aggregator), France lead the table after four matches, but a table position is not a final result.
Is the England win over Australia confirmed?
Yes. ESPN Australia (sports media outlet) lists the match as England 45-22 Australia, and the full-time score replaces the earlier live reading.
Which Saturday result had the widest margin?
South Africa’s 66-7 win over Italy in Turin, a margin of 59 points, is the widest of the four Saturday results listed above (NAMPA / AFP (international news wire)).
When is England’s next listed match?
England v Japan on 14 November 2026 is the next listed fixture, with a 16:40 GMT kick-off according to BBC Sport (UK public broadcaster).
