Amazon and the terrestrial broadcasters are expected to split the rights for autumn internationals and the Six Nations, according to industry sources.

Although Amazon had been expected to bid for a share of the Six Nations — which would have meant some of the tournament’s games being shown on a pay-TV service for the first time — it is understood the platform’s priority is to focus on the autumn matches.

The sale of the rights for both the Six Nations and the autumn internationals is being done together to maximise revenues. Amazon is understood to be prepared to leave the way clear for the Six Nations to go to terrestrial broadcasters.
I guess Amazon want new customers in Autumn in time to purchase their Christmas shopping.
