BBC to broadcast Autumn International Series

This season’s Autumn International Series between England, France and Wales will be broadcast live on the BBC.

England will square off against France and Wales in a triangular series which will see all three teams playing each other once before the final at the Salford City Stadium on November 11.

England will use the tournament to prepare for the 2013 Rugby League World Cup, and expect to see NRL stars such as Gareth Ellis, Sam Burgess and James Graham compete for England.

The tournament will kick off in Lens when France host Wales on Saturday, October 20. England will open their account away to Wales in Wrexham before hosting the French at MS3 Craven Park.
