Cyprus v Austria in Vienna (WCQ Europe R1; ENC 2C)

Cyprus has made amazing progress in their short test rugby history. Today they are up against an Austrian pack that may have their measure.

A tough match for Bosnia. They have had to bus in from home! They struggled against Norway but may have too much grunt for a Greek side that disappointed last season.
