Norway have stepped down a level in European rugby at the end of the 2010-12 ENC competition. It’s difficult to gauge the result of such a rugby test match.

Bosnia Herzegovina have certainly earned the right to be promoted so this will be an interesting clash-the relegated from ENC 2D v promoted from ENC 3.

Norway has two advantages. Firstly they play at home and secondly they have already played together as a team.
