The Quilter Nations Series is back this weekend with three of the four British nations taking part in the autumn’s internationals.
Scotland, England and Ireland will all kick off on Saturday with four fixtures scheduled throughout the day. The Scots are coming off a mixed bag of results in the summer tour, with a loss to Fiji and a win against Samoa.
Meanwhile, England achieved the double over Argentina in July and also secured a win over the USA so will be full of confidence heading into their clash with Australia.
Ireland are also on a good run ahead of their Saturday match-up with big wins over Portugal and Georgia. Wales are not in action until next weekend, when they take on Argentina.
