I assume all Wales' autumn games are live on BBC as well as Scotland's. With Ireland autumn matches now on Channel 4 plenty of live FTA rugby during November.

The next three English domestic rugby union seasons will include in-season breaks, with players limited to a maximum of 35 matches per campaign.

The measures, beginning 2019-20, are designed to protect players during a demanding schedule that includes the 2019 World Cup and 2021 British and Irish Lions tour of South Africa.

However, the domestic season has been extended, with 2019-20 starting on 21 September and ending on 20 June, while a "mandatory five-week post-season rest" period has also been brought in.

The key announcements include:
  • Guaranteed in-season breaks for players in each of the three seasons
  • Mandatory five-week post-season rest for all players, which includes two weeks' absolute rest and three weeks' active rest
  • Minimum 10 weeks off/pre-season for players in the England Senior Elite Player Squad.
  • Minimum 12 weeks between the Premiership final and round one of the following league season
  • Maximum 35 match involvements (more than 20 minutes) in any one season for all players
  • Maximum 30 full game equivalents (reduced from 32) in any one season for all players
  • England players to have a mandatory rest week if playing all international matches and more than 65% of total minutes (reduced from 80%)
