In 2020, the Autumn Nations Cup replaced the Autumn Internationals because the Covid-19 pandemic meant that many teams were unable to travel internationally. As a result, the 2020 version of the Autumn Nations Cup was contested by eight countries. This included all of the teams who compete for the Six Nations Championship plus Georgia and Fiji.
During the tournament, these teams were then split into two groups of four. During the group stage of the Autumn Nations Cup, each team played other group members once. Then, the teams in first place in each group then played each other, as did the teams in second, third and fourth, to determine the overall standings.
In Group A of the Autumn Nations Cup, England came top after winning all three of their games. They were followed by Ireland in second place, Wales in third and Georgia in fourth.
Meanwhile, France topped Group B. Like England, they won every game they played in the group stage. They were followed by Scotland in second, Italy in third and Fiji in fourth. Sadly, a Covid-19 outbreak in Fiji’s camp meant that the team was forced to concede all of their group games. However, they did play against Georgia in the 7th/8th place playoff, which was a game that they won.
In the 1st/2nd place play off, England triumphed over France in an exhilarating game that went to sudden-death extra-time after England scored a late converted try.
