Briefly
Wales, Ireland and England will end their summer tours down south. For Wales and Ireland, both whom came very closing to winning the second tests, this is their last chance to change the history books and record that elusive win. Wales last defeated Australia in Australia in 1969, and Ireland have never defeated New Zealand.

France has this last opportunity to win against Argentina on tour in America. They lost the first test 20-23. Also touring America, Italy face the USA whilst Georgia will need to improve considerably if they are to defeat Canada. Note, the Georgian touring side is without a large number of their top players.

Bulgaria has a final chance to win its way out of ENC Division 2D when they face Hungary at home.

Last but not least, there is a World Cup 2015 qualifying game to be played in Bermuda. Guyana, NACRA South winner challenges Bermuda, the north winner, in the NACRA final. Bermuda will be defending it’s title as well trying to qualify to play the eventual CONSUR B winner in what will be a World Cup qualifying process rugby test.
