All four of England women’s autumn rugby union internationals will be broadcast live and free-to-air on the BBC.

The Red Roses face two Tests against world champions New Zealand, followed by those against Canada and the USA, and every match will be shown live on BBC Two across four consecutive Sunday afternoons.

The first game against the Black Ferns is on Sunday, 31 October at Exeter’s Sandy Park, with second Test at Northampton’s Franklin’s Gardens on Saturday, 7 November.

Twickenham Stoop is the venue for the Red Roses’ third autumn clash against Canada on Saturday, 14 November, before the series finale against the United States at Worcester’s Sixways Stadium a week later.

Lee McKenzie and Sonja McLaughlan will present the BBC’s live coverage throughout the autumn, with studio analysis from Maggie Alphonsi and Brian Moore, while Sara Orchard leads the commentary team.

Commenting on the deal with the RFU, Barbara Slater, director of BBC Sport, said:

“We are thrilled to bring even more top-quality women’s sport to the BBC. We look forward to showcasing the Red Roses’ quest for victory, in what should be a highly competitive series of matches, to as wide an audience as possible.”
