@Machpants Shaping as a semi-final exit. Contenders will know they have to train specifically to beat Eddie Jones' band of merry orcs. Eddie may just be focusing on the hosts...

Pretty good lists on Wikipedia. Including bled in Qatar, ABs Fiji in Whangarei!
Looks like we will be Wales, Ireland, and France. After our riveting Italy & Fiji home games (which won't happen)

@Machpants be great if it happens...usually there would have been more of a thing made of it if we had picked it up!
I do think it is good if they send those matches around the provinces...well, start doing so.
Last was New Plymouth in 2017 v Arg
Napier 2014 v Arg
2013 New Plymouth v France
2010 New Plymouth v Ireland
2008 New Plymouth v SamoaThats it for this century outside Albany, Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, Christchurch or Dunedin
Then 1996 Napier v Samoa
Looking over the records, prior to that appears only shared between Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch & Dunedin
-
2018 Nelson v Argentina

Bristol Bears and England prop Kyle Sinckler will miss the start of the Six Nations after being banned for two weeks for swearing at a referee. He will miss England's opener against Scotland on 6 February, but will be back to face Italy a week later.
The British & Irish Lion avoids missing both of the first two matches of England's Six Nations campaign because the squad has not yet been named, meaning his ban will also cover Bristol's league match against Bath on Friday, 29 January. He will be free to play again on 9 February.

@Stargazer He's been a lucky boy and it once again highlights the lottery that is the judiciary.

so despite everything going to hell in a handbasket over there, it's suddenly the 6N this weekend?
take away the crowds and the travelling fans, and all you are left with is the dire rugby.

Weβll see
Dire is better than none, and beggars canβt be choosers

@MiketheSnow I was being somewhat facetious
I'll watch at least one game

Yeah, I struggle to be excited about it this year. Although having said that, England vs Scotland in 2019 is one of the best games I've seen.
