THE Autumn Nations Series is back for another year of thrilling action in 2025!
In a prelude to the Six Nations, England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France and Italy will all be in action in November.
Steve Borthwick’s England side came second to France in the Six Nations 2025, but their Autumn Nations Series 2024 saw them lose three fixtures in four games, beating Japan to conclude the Series.
New Zealand will be in action against all four of the home nations, as Ardie Savea and the All Blacks continue their pursuit of the No 1 spot in the Rugby World rankings.
In a repeat of the ‘Brighton Miracle,’ South Africa will clash Japan in the opening weekend of the Autumn Nations Series at Wembley in London.
