The eagerly-anticipated autumn internationals have arrived once again as Six Nations stars collide with their Rugby Championship counterparts in a battle of the hemispheres.
Next year, the traditional north vs south battle that defines the autumn will look different with the launch of the World Rugby Nations Championship seeing the international calendar given an overhaul but, for now, the familiar pattern of one-off Tests between the sport’s biggest hitters remains in the Quilter Nations Series.
In the third week of action, England proved their progress with a first win over New Zealand at Twickenham in 13 years, while Steve Tandy got off the mark as Wales head coach in a crucial success over Japan.
Ireland looked back to somewhere near their best as they blew Australia away in Dublin, while the Springboks survived another red card to overcome a battling Italy. Scotland and Argentina conclude the action on Sunday.
Here’s everything you need to know:
