Does anyone know which clubs are playing in the midweek games this year? Also are any french clubs playing? I'd love to see toulouse v. wallabies.

Midweeks this year are:

9th November: Leicester Tigers vs Australia
9th November: Connacht vs Samoa
9th November: Saracens vs USA

16th November: Munster vs Australia



I didn't know that Saracens were playing USA, i wonder who their American players will play for

IMO there are not enough midweek fixtures. All the SH teams playing three or four AI's should have midweek fixtures as well. e.g the All Blacks could easily have had an itinerary like

Sat.... v England
Wed.. v Glasgow Warriors
Sat.... v Scotland
Wed.. v Ulster
Sat.... v Ireland
Wed.. v Llanelli Scarlets
Sat.... v Wales

Sure, but I think the ABs wanted to simulate the World Cup by taking only 30 players - if they undertook mid week games, they'd have increased the squad size to, say, 36 players, like the Wallabies ... the players selected would probably be more specialist players, rather than utilities
