Summer tours.

The domestic season may be over for the home nations, but there’s still a huge amount of international fixtures to come over the next few weeks before the players can officially sign off and go on their holidays.

With no British & Irish Lions tour or Rugby World Cup this year, some mouth-watering fixtures have been arranged between rugby’s elite tier one nations. The All Blacks will take on France in a three-Test series, with Ireland doing the same against Australia and England with South Africa.

Wales will also play the Springboks in a special USA-based fixture this weekend, before heading to Argentina for two Tests. Scotland will also take on the Pumas along with games against Canada and USA.
