A completely new and innovative tournament is taking place over four weekends between November 13 and December 6.
The Lelos are replacing Japan in the tournament after the latter's withdrawal due to logistical complications of air travel, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Georgia will face Fiji at a final game at Murrayfield stadium in Scotland on December 5.
Who do you think will win the inaugural #AutumnNationsCup next weekend? ????
