What Channel Is the Wales V South Africa Game on
Here's all you need to know as the 2021 Autumn Nations Series wraps up with the final round of fixtures this weekend.
Italy vs Uruguay
- Sat 20 Nov, 1pm on Amazon Prime
The Autumn Internationals have not been enjoyable for Italy so far, with a 47-9 trouncing by a second string New Zealand XV followed by a 37-16 loss to Argentina last weekend.
In a bid to end a run of 16 straight defeats since the 2019 World Cup, Kieran Crowley has made seven changes to his Italy side, five in the forwards and two in the backs.
Uruguay's XV for their first and only appearance in this year's Autumn Internationals is strengthened with a newly available France-based trio: hooker German Kessler, prop Mateo Sanguinetti and lock Manuel Leindekar.
Scotland vs Japan
- Sat 20 Nov, 1pm on Amazon Prime
After victory over Australia and a battling defeat to the Springboks from which many positives should be taken, a Scotland victory against Japan would wrap up what has been a productive round of matches for Gregor Townsend's men.

Townsend has rung the changes for the visit of the Brave Blossoms, with wing Rufus McLean, flanker Matt Fagerson and no 8 Nick Haining among seven players dropped.
Notable returnees to the XV include Jamie Bhatti at loosehead, Hamish Watson at flanker and Darcy Graham on the wing.
Underestimate Japan at your peril: their memorable 28-21 victory in the pool stages of the 2019 World Cup knocked Scotland out, and only four of Japan's named starting XV were not involved in that match.
England vs South Africa
- Sat 20 Nov, 3.15pm on Amazon Prime
It is difficult to escape the conclusion that this tie will play a huge part in determining how England's Autumn Internationals against Tonga, Australia and South Africa will be viewed.
Win and it'll be a successful three wins from three; lose and selection concerns, the sluggishness of the performance against Australia and another defeat to the Springboks will drive the narrative.
England are without captain Owen Farrell, with Courtney Lawes donning the armband instead, and hand starts to Bevan Rodd and Jamie Blamire in a depleted front row and outside centre Joe Marchant on the wing rather than in-form specialists Adam Radwan and Max Malins.
After beating Scotland last week, South Africa have also made changes to their XV, signalling their physical intent by bringing in Lood de Jager at lock and Handre Pollard and Cobus Reinach as the half-back pairing.
Director of Rugby turned waterboy Rassie Erasmus will not be present after being given a two-month ban for criticising the refereeing in July's first British & Irish Lions Test.
Wales vs Australia
- Sat 20 Nov, 5.30pm on Amazon Prime
A repeat of Wales' pool match victory over Australia in the 2019 World Cup would wrap up a productive series of games for Wayne Pivac's side.
Their injury blight has eased slightly as wing Josh Adams, no 8 Aaron Wainwright and prop Tomas Francis return to the XV for the visit of the Wallabies.
After six successive wins prior to the Autumn Internationals, Australia's defeats to Scotland and England have emphasised just how much work needs to be done in their current transition under Dave Rennie.
Flanker Pete Samu, hooker Tolu Latu, prop Taniela Tupou and wing Filipo Daugunu all return, with loosehead James Slipper captaining the side in place of the injured Michael Hooper.
France vs New Zealand
- Sat 20 Nov, 8pm on Amazon Prime
Ireland's stunning victory over the All Blacks last weekend has set up a full-blooded clash against France, with Les Bleus facing their toughest challenge of this year's Autumn Internationals.
As they look for a first win against New Zealand in fourteen Tests, the hosts make six changes as centre Jonathan Danty, wing Gabin Villiere, flanker Francois Cros, lock Paul Willemse and hooker Peato Mauvaka coming into the side.
The All Blacks have also made changes, with Richie Mo'Unga and Sam Cane two of seven switches to last weekend's XV.
Ireland vs Argentina
- Sun 21 Nov, 2.15pm on Channel 4
The only match of the round to be shown on terrestrial TV in the UK, Ireland's final Autumn International offers the opportunity for Andy Farrell's side to pick up a third win from three.
Robbie Henshaw is set for his first appearance of the season at inside centre as one of four changes, with Robert Baloucoune coming in on the wing for his second cap.
Joey Carbery and Conor Murray are named as the half-back duo in the absence of Johnny Sexton and Jamison Gibson-Park.
Argentina make three changes to the XV that beat Italy 36-17 last week, with Guido Petti, Sanitago Grondona and Lucio Cinti in at flanker, lock and wing respectively.
