Seems only to be a one year deal which is a bit odd. Now my understanding is that the new World Rugby Nations League (or whatever it ends being called) only starts in 2026, so presumably there will still be an Autumn Nations Series in 2025, so you think they’d have done a two year deal?
What happens with the FTA element will be interesting. Now contrary to what some might say, Ireland’s internationals are not protected for free to air (and indeed the summer tours have typically only been on pay TV, as have some World Cup warm up games in the past) but taking this at face value we might possibly see some Ireland Autumn internationals games exclusively FTA.
