Malta’s place in the competition seems secure so only pride is resting on this game for them. The Czech Republic on the other hand needs a win desperately to stay within reach of competition leaders Switzerland.

Preview
Russia’s two test tour of Hong Kong last year was the first time these two teams met in a rugby test match. Russia proved too strong on both occasions.

Russia has won both games so far convincingly and remain the favourites. Hong Kong did well to defeat Portugal mid week although the visitors were unlucky in that game.

Hong Kong will need to play at their best to defeat the Bears.

Preview
Not a lot at stake in this test rugby match. Poland could well be a weakened squad if the French clubs hold their players. Moldova underperform away but if they are at any strength they should defeat the hosts.

Prediction
Moldova by 9 points. Score 27-18

Preview
Slovenia shouldn’t have too many problems winning against Denmark at home. They won away the first leg match 16-10 and were very strong against Serbia last weekend. A win is essential if they are to close in on Luxembourg at the top of the table.

Serbia showed spirit against Slovenia last weekend and nearly scored a fourth try towards the end of the match. Their task against Luxembourg away will be very difficult as the North European team is riding a high and is at home.

Predictions
Slovenia by 22 v Denmark: Score 31-9
Luxembourg by 20 v Serbia. Score 32-12
