I'm in the "win every one" camp, although I always struggle to understand why we usually play the toughest team first in the Autumn. Surely it's better to start with the lowest-ranked and work your way up/ get some game time together?

I think we'll win in France if we have a first choice front five.

Aaand, Summer 2017 we're playing Australia in Sydney. We may also have fixtures against Fiji and Italy down there...

They also have a say and will likely have tougher opponents than us.

Thanks for that. Similar to the South African tournament in 2013 then.

Here's some news about the international rugby calendar from 2020 - 2032.

I don't really know what it means. Maybe a home match v Germany in 2032 at Kilmarnock.

On this note, does anyone know what the hell is going on this summer? I would expect this stuff to have been confirmed by now.

Didn't read it all but assume the seasons will start later? Otherwise out players will stop in may, do weeks of training before July tour.

Does anyone know if a test in Fiji has been confirmed? I'll be there in late June and could get to a match in Suva.

Not anymore confirmed than an entry in wiki with no source. At one point a quadrangular tournament in Oz (plus italy) was spoken about too.
