RUGBY TEST MATCH: European Nations Cup, Division 2B

13.11.2010
Andorra v Armenia in Abovian (ENC 2B)

Venue: Stade d’ Abovyan,

Referee: V.Tabirta (Moldova)

Preview
Andorra began the new season with a 22-7 win over Slovenia who, a week later, defeated Serbia 33-3. So that must place Andorra in a strong position in this tournament. 'Andorra will take two previously uncapped young players with them to Armenia: Dani Raya and Estefano Tossati.' thanks to 'Quentin' at http://www.fira-aer-rugby.com/forum2007/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3623 Apart from that, that's it from the internet!

Both teams have won on home turf in the two previous times they have met. I expect the same again.
