[QUOTE="Brigantine, post: 889698, member: 73940"] WR doesn't hold matches in Tonga, even before this latest cyclone. So it makes a lot of sense that a game in Australia would be vs Tonga. The Europe 2 vs Samoa play-offs (RWC qualifying) are on 2 June (in Europe) and 16 June (in Samoa), so I guess until the ERC is over WR can't confirm a 3rd Romania fixture. Hong Kong & Korea have ARC fixtures until June 2, and if they win that will have a play-off in Tahiti on June 30 and at home on July 7. The Nations Cup should be in that window, so is a possibility. (was June 10-18 last year) Namibia has Africa Gold Cup fixtures from June 16 onwards, and Kenya from June 23 onwards. The Rugby Nations Cup will be in Uruguay again, but I haven't seen any info on dates or teams. Spain and Russia were there last year, but they also need to save the dates for the Samoa play-offs. I think Russia will fail RWC qualification and go to the Nations Cup again. Kenya could be an option, but Namibia has a June 16 fixture already. Hong Kong is another possibility for 2018. So my best guess is the Nations Cup will be June 9-17 with Uruguay, Russia, Kenya and Hong Kong. I doubt Germany will have any tests, given their funding issues. I wouldn't be too surprised if Portugal went to Brazil. Switzerland already hosted Ivory Coast on Feb 3. (Switzerland won 30 - 27) The only countries who should have tests but haven't been mentioned here are Chile and Belgium. [/QUOTE]
