Tier 2 - mid year tests 2022

Uruguayan defence goes walkabout against Japan in an otherwise creditable performance in a 34-15 loss. 2nd test next weekend along with Portugal vs Italy and Chile vs Scotland A.

Extended highlights of Japan vs Uruguay 2nd test.



Japanese depth becoming very impressive with project players and domestic raised players. It's hard to see them ever dropping out of the top 12 in the world now. A disappointing mini-series for Uruguay despite an decent 1st test.

Chile vs Scotland A, extended highlights.



Confirms my fears that Chile have not developed further from their meteoric improvement up to Nov 2021. This will be good practice for against the US but I have to make the US 60/40 favourites.

A couple of must see tries and a great finale.

Another credible performance from Portugal that bodes well for them in the repechage.

Finally a result for Uruguay against an admittedly depleted Romania. Southern hemisphere back on top.
