All eight teams are in action on the same weekend for the first time with a series of play-offs to determine the final standings.

Group A teams will be matched with Group B teams who finished in the same position as them.

This means group winners England and France will play in the final to determine first and second place.

Ireland and Scotland both finished second so will compete for third and fourth place, and so on.

Fiji were made to withdraw from all three of their group stage contests due to an outbreak of COVID-19 among the squad, but they're back for the final weekend in a bid to avoid the wooden spoon.

Each team in Group B was awarded a 28-0 victory and five points against Fiji, and now the final standings have determined the deciding match-ups.

The Autumn Nations Cup will be available to watch on Amazon Prime Video and thankfully we've got a handy list of all the fixtures and how you can tune into them right at your fingertips.

Autumn Nations Cup format

Teams have been split into two pools: Group A – Ireland, Wales, England, Georgia and Group B – Scotland, France, Italy, Fiji.

They will play each of the teams in their group across three weekends.

Teams who finish in the same positions as each other across the two groups will then face each other in a weekend of finals to determine overall placings.

For example, the two teams who finish first will play a final to determine first and second place overall. The two teams who finish second will play a final to determine third and fourth place overall, and so forth.

It's a simple idea for a potentially one-off tournament designed to circumvent travel restrictions as Australia and New Zealand would normally visit Europe around this time of year.
