Is there a discussion thread for this?


Autumn Nations Cup fixtures and TV channel

Round 1

France vs Italy, 8pm on 28 November – Amazon

Ireland vs TBD, 2.15pm on 5 December – Amazon
Wales vs TBD, 4.45pm on 5 December – Amazon
England vs TBD, 2pm on 6 December – Amazon



How it works

There will be two pools of four countries in the tournament.
Group A consists of England, Ireland, Wales, and Georgia
Group B is France, Scotland, Italy, and Fiji.

Each team will play the teams in their group once by the end of the third weekend.

Based on the group rankings coming into the final weekend, each team will face the team ranked in the same position in the opposite pool. This means the teams who come first in Group A and Group B will compete for first place, the teams who come second will compete for second place and so on.

Don’t think so, so cheers.

Don’t suppose you have come across anything showing which channels the games will be on?

Amazon Prime has the main rights but Ch4 are showing some games (only a few England and Ireland games, I think) and S4C are showing the Welsh games.
So I squares up, casual like.

I'm quite pleased with that myself, but I can understand people being upset :D.

All I need to do now is to get my children to stop watching Teen Titans Go and I can use the Amazon Prime subscription for this.

Hopefully France, Scotland and Fiji don't take it seriously at all

Quite looking forward to this.

In Group A the match between England and Ireland looks destined to decide who goes to the final.

In Group B Fiji are an unknown quantity, but in all likelihood the match at Murrayfield between Scotland and France decides the finalist there. Scotland tend to beat France at home, but will have to do it without Russell and Hastings.

So I'm predicting a France v England final. And for the good of rugby, make it a French victory.
