The Nations Series boasts some of the biggest rivalries in rugby, involving many of the top nations and players.

Kicking off on Saturday, November 2, England will host New Zealand at Twickenham for what has historically delivered blockbuster entertainment and will once again set the tone for the rest of the Nations Series.

Fans can then enjoy their weekends starting early, with three Friday fixtures; Ireland versus New Zealand on November 8, Ireland taking on Argentina on November 15, and then France taking their turn to host Argentina on November 22.

It is then back-to-back Saturday entertainment for fans, with the likes of France versus New Zealand on November 16, in a repeat of last year’s opening World Cup game at the Stade de France.

The double World Cup winners the Springboks will kick off their Nations Series campaign against Scotland on Sunday, November 10 in Edinburgh.

The encounter will be the first time the Springboks cross paths with Scotland since their World Cup 18-3 victory in Marseille in September last year.
