But there is now uncertainty, especially in Scotland and Wales, as to whether the tournament will be played behind closed doors, after the spread of the omricon variant of Covid-19.
Wales won the competition this year and will certainly be looking to defend their title as they enter next year’s event.
Eddie Jones successfully tested out some new blood in the autumn internationals, with Marcus Smith proving a new gem England will polish before the Rugby World Cup in 2023.
Tickets for the tournament are now on sale.
