Match Preview – USA vs NZ Maori
The Maori finish their North American tour with a stop in the cream cheese capital, facing the Eagles at the scenic PPL Park in what should provide some solid entertainment.
Match Preview – France vs New Zealand
The All Blacks look to continue their 11 match winning streak as they face France for the fourth time this year in a completely redundant and unexciting proposition in Paris.
Match Preview – Ireland vs Samoa
What could have been, and might still be, a very tasty battle at the Aviva has been somewhat watered down by the withdrawal of several leading players from both sides.
Match Preview – Wales vs South Africa
In probably the most intriguing matchup of the weekend, Wales host South Africa in Cardiff to kick off both sides’ November programmes. Will a Lions hangover affect Warren Gatland’s side?
Match Preview – Portugal vs Fiji
Fiji head to Lisbon for the second time in their history on Saturday. When they last played in 2005 the score was a competitive 26-17. This time will be different.
Match Preview – Romania vs Tonga
It’s an historic first ever meeting between Tonga and Romania, who share similar histories as old and established rugby nations who are now slowly rebuilding after several years of mediocrity.
Match Preview – Scotland vs Japan
Japan travel to Murrayfield for the first time since 1991 as the two sides meet in battle nearly a decade after their last engagement at McDiarmid Park in November 2004.
Match Preview – England vs Argentina
Fresh off a messy but deserved victory over Australia, England now play host to the Pumas, whom they visited and defeated twice in June with both sides fielding weakened teams.
Match Preview – Italy vs Australia
The Azzurri host the Wallabies in Turin in a rematch of what turned out to be an unexpectedly close encounter a year ago. Once again the odds favour the visitors.
Match Preview – Georgia vs Canada
A massive weekend of rugby gets kicked off in Tbilisi as Georgia host Canada for the second time. Can the Lelos exact revenge for their defeat in Vancouver last year?
