This thread is for squad lists & general info and discussions.
As always, there will be separate match threads for the important matches. -
@Machpants Ah, I see my explanation for the asterisk only appears in the intro on the home page, not in the article itself. I'll add it.
The asterisk means that the local time is on the previous day (from a NZ perspective; NZ day, date and time are in the first three columns).

@Machpants Valetini or Holloway could play 6 as well
Sure I realise that, just not their default position in SR (as far as I know, I could be wrong!)

A brief highlights clip from the Japan v Uruguay game was posted on Twitter by the Japanese RFU:
On YouTube, I could only find an unofficial, low-quality highlights clip, but it's longer and watchable if you watch it on a smallish screen.The match sheet with try scorers can be found here.

@Machpants said in June - July Internationals 2022:
Interestingly only one 6 (Leota), one 7 (hooper) plus three 8s. Five loosies in total, yet ABs will probably pick 7. One 12 (Kerivi), one fullback (banks). So there will have to be some positional shuffling
Jordie Petaia can play 12, 13 and wing. They’ve also got James O’Connor who is a 10, 12 or fullback option.

You'd think they would just start like this on auto-type by now.

@ARHS I actually quite liked it when the Māori All Blacks played them, and Brazil a few years ago, although it wasn't of much use for the MABs as a means of developing players. Unfortunately, Brazil doesn't get to play a single test match during the June/July test window.

And we all LOVE Brazil rugby
