New Zealand vs Ireland | Steinlager Series
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.

Actually the era defining moment came a few years earlier. February 2002 to be precise, when Michael D Higgins as finance minister at the time introduced his sports persons tax relief bill to the dial. As the politicians of the day stated “It seems to be another daft K Club frolic born in Kildare amongst the well-paid professional jockeys with whom the Minister plays golf” and that the scheme represented “a savage uncaring vision of Ireland and one that should be condemned”. The irfu and Leinster would be nowhere near the position they are in today without this key component of the finances.

Those with responsibility in social media companies who don’t facilitate this should be convicted. In real life, I have free speech to approach someone like Reinach and verbally threaten him. I am risking a conviction or a slap but I could do it. In the old days, If someone anonymously threatened someone by letter the police would ask and use evidence from the postal system. Unlike the Post, social media companies have complete instant and legal access to the content in social media. They make money from the data, billions. Yet, they turn a blind eye to terrorism, Nazi-ism and industrial levels of threats against individuals including their address and childrens schools being published online all from ananoymous accounts not real speech. They claim free speech. The fault is with the perps but also social media companies who think anonymous personas posting death threats constitutes free speech.
