New Zealand host Ireland in a 3 match Steinlager Series kicking off at the All Blacks stronghold Eden Park on 2 July. The home side will be keen to impress follwing some less than satisfactory performances at the back end of last season including a loss to the Irish in Dublin. Ireland will be equally motivated to earn their first win on NZ soil. This will be a blockbusting series.

Australia vs England | eToro July Series

The Wallabies welcome England to Australia for what will be one of the most hotly anticipated matchups this July. Both sides will be looking to build key combinations with the Rugby World Cup looming in 2023.

South Africa vs Wales | Castle Lager Incoming Series

By all accounts this will be a tough series for Wales who were disappointing in the 2022 Six Nations Championship. Can they rise to the occasion and foot it with the World Champion Springboks in South Africa? 1st test kicks off on 2 July @ Loftus.

Argentina vs Scotland | July Internationals

Los Pumas face Scotland in what is a hard to predict series and one that could go either way. We'll keep you up to date with how it all pans out.

Japan vs France | July Internationals

France have been in imposing recent form and continue to build as a major threat for all opposition at the Rugby World Cup they will host next year. The Brave Blossoms are going to need every ounce if grit and determination they can muster to match it with the high flying French in this two match series starting 2 July.
