It’s week two of the 2024 Autumn Nations Series and we can safely state that the gunpowder has been well and truly lit! In week one, New Zealand narrowly escaped defeat against England at Twickenham, while Scotland swatted Fiji aside at Murrayfield. The Red Roses will have an easier fixture to make themselves feel better in facing Australia, while the Scots’ job will be much, much, MUCH higher when they host reigning world champions South Africa. Elsewhere, an intriguing encounter will see Italy hosting Argentina in what should be a real arm wrestle, with Fiji probably fancying a bounce-back against an out-of-sorts Wales.
