Is next year's England-Argentina a series? And are the RU be awarding caps for that?

All the tours which aren't stated how many matches they will be, would likely be 2 or 3 matches, if it is just one country arriving or touring.

Pretty sure England would be awarding caps for that as well.

To be honest, I think it's silly that Argentina are just playing Tier 1 for all these tours, under the current arrangement with European clubs where European based players can't play in both June and the 4 Nations, it just ridiculously depletes them, that arrangement has to change, and if it doesn't change then their depleted side should be playing Tier 2.

 

[LittleGuy]

I beleive Ireland are scheduled to do the North Amercian tour next year Psychic, not sur if they are playing Argentina as well.

Edit: Sorry just ntoiced you had it on the chart already I misread the chart.

 

[Melhor Time]

PD

Great work in find and producing this!

You can add in Wales playing in Samoa and Fiji in June 2013. It is confirmed.

Yes 100% official with test caps awarded.

 

[Draggs]

Pacific Island tour without Lions players, that's going to be a physical series!

 

[dudeabides]

I can only afford one, out of my driving range, rugby match a year so if those future North American tours really happen you can count me happily in for those Ireland and Scotland visits.

 

[welshglory]

Just so everybody knows all the top nations except for Scotland and Italy are doing the 3 test series thing. I guess they were deemed not good enough, which is fair enough i suppose

 

[Feicarsinn]

What's disappointing is that Japan weren't more included in this. They've got a World Cup to host in 2019 and need to brought up to scratch fast. 2 tours during Lions seasons just ain't going to cut it. Realistically they should have a top tier country touring there every year from 2015. You'd imagine Ireland, Italy, Wales and Scotland would be the best candidates.

 

[TRF_heineken]

Well, Heyneke Meyer should be a happy camper with those fixtures ahead of the Rugby Championships in future... Good teams to play against when you want to test out the youngsters...

I heard that from 2015 onwards there will be more tours to Japan, precisely because of the world cup.
