First reaction is that Wales might go through the full year winless.
And are there two g’s in Bugger Off?

Also, New Zealand having a go at a Grand Slam.

South Africa too scared to face Scotland and England.

And Italy will be eyeing the Australia fixture big time.

Not quite a Nov international, but Argentina are playing their home game vs South Africa in London. Some time in August

They played the wobblies in the same like 2016

Scotland have toured Argentina six times since 2008 and have hosted them the same number of times in November.

I don't know why other teams can't do it.

As you can imagine this is just a £££ exercise to help the Argies (it's their TRC game, I didn't specify). Tickets are north of £100, and I didn't win the Euromillions last night.

I imagine your comment is more towards the NH teams, but don't know if its valid? France play there quite a bit, everyone hosts them. Off the top of my only can't remember Ireland having toured in a while? England go there again this year, having gone in the last pre-covid tour as well. Obviously you can argue this is just them calendar filling with Lions on.

Is that not where they finally got their first win against them? In an exhibition game in Chicago?
It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

Ireland and Wales have only been once each in that period. England have been three times but at least two of them were in Lions years so not full strength.

Yes, it is. Hansen the master coach went into the game with one recognised lock partnered by Jerome Kaino, the arrogant moose knuckle.

And another lock made his debut off the bench; our current captain. He scored a consolation try, though.

I have watched Argentina v England at Old Trafford in years gone by. It was a “home” game for Argentina…
Memorable for possibly the densest rugby supporter ever in the Stretford End
