    Does anybody know what the fixtures are for the Autumn Internationals next year? I have looked myself online but so far have come up with nothing. Maybe they aren't decided yet, but I thought they would be at this stage.

    Generally the summer tours are decided well in advance but not autumn. There hasn't been any announcement of fixtures yet

    We're surely due to play Argentina no?

    I haven't heard anything myself but if I were to guess I would say South Africa, Argentina and a tier 2 team, probably Fiji.

    They were playing them every November for a few years. Also I think there was an argument about fees.

    Scotland will be touring Australia next summer. Surely they are on a hiding to nothing as they will be minus their British Lions contingent? I thought when Lions' tours were happening the 'home nations' only played Tier 2 nations on their summer tours.

    Up to unions to decide their schedule along with World Rugby. Scots most likely wont have huge numbers away with Lions so will be much nearer full strength than ourselves, Welsh/English

    Scotland went to SA last time around

    I thought South Africa may possibly do the Grand tour next autumn but there not down too play England.

    New Zealand may play Wales, Scotland and possibly France or Italy. I don't think they will play Ireland

    Except Ireland to play South Africa, Argentina and a tier 2 nation. Maybe an Australian game but we have played them in 2013/2014 and this year. We played the ABs twice this year and I think we won't play them til 2018 ???

    Reminds me of Pro boxing a bit.
