The Autumn Nations Series is almost upon us, with Scotland taking on Australia in the first match of the 2022 edition.

The Autumn Nations Series is almost upon us, with Scotland taking on Australia in the first match of the 2022 edition.

Scotland were victorious in this fixture last season, winning 15-13 thanks to Ewan Ashman’s try to claim their third consecutive win over the Wallabies.

A year on from that narrow victory at BT Murrayfield, Gregor Townsend’s men are looking to return to winning ways following a heart-breaking last-gasp series defeat to Argentina in the summer.

Meanwhile, Dave Rennie’s side had a summer of ups and downs, defeating world champions South Africa and coming within seconds of victory over New Zealand, after a 2-1 series defeat to England.

Now as the Autumn Nations Series gets underway, we look at where you can watch all the action – starting with Saturday’s bumper clash in Edinburgh.
