A rout in Durban, a scrap in Kingston, a steamrolling in Salta, and a showdown in Houston closed out the big weekend. Time for part two of this week’s reviews.
Now on to four more in part two. The Springboks host Italy, Tonga lines up the Canadians, England ventures to Argentina, and Ireland face an impressive Eagles lineup in Texas.
The Lions coasted through a maddeningly underwhelming Western Force side, and Canada claimed a well-deserved and hard-fought victory over Fiji on Wednesday. Brief reports and all the numbers are inside.
