The best rugby players on the planet will return to Prime Video this August when the 2023 Summer Nations Series gets underway.

The final international matches before this year’s Rugby World Cup will see 13 sides collide across 13 fascinating fixtures.

Each of the Guinness Six Nations teams will be in action, with Ireland hoping to build on the momentum they built up on the way to the Grand Slam earlier this year.

Southern hemisphere powerhouses Australia and world champions South Africa will also feature, alongside Japan, Fiji, Samoa, Romania and Georgia.

On August 5, Scotland face Rugby World Cup hosts France, Wales take on old foes England, and world number one side Ireland welcome Italy to Aviva Stadium.

England and Wales will go head-to-head again a week later at Twickenham, as will France and Scotland at Stade Geoffroy Guichard in Saint-Étienne.

Then the southern hemisphere sides will get involved, with Wales welcoming the Springboks to Principality Stadium for the first time since 2021.

Ireland and England will also meet on August 19 in a rematch of their epic Super Saturday clash from this year’s Guinness Six Nations.

On the same day, Italy meet Romania and France will take on Fiji in what are sure to be a pair of exciting match-ups.

Scotland are in action again on August 26, with Gregor Townsend’s team taking on Georgia.

Italy and Japan will also face off while Ireland take on Samoa.

The following day, France will expect a tough test when they welcome Australia to Paris for their final warm-up game before hosting the 2023 Rugby World Cup.

Prime Video has been the UK broadcast partner of the annual Autumn Nations Series since 2021, which is organised by Six Nations Rugby, and has become one of the most popular annual experiences on the international rugby calendar.
