Another busy day in the rugby union game as Wales and Scotland are the first to announce their sides for this weekend’s internationals.
What’s on the site
We had a look back to the 1994 series between South Africa and England in our Video of the Week where the Red Rose comfortably overcame the Springboks in the first Test.
With the internationals beginning on Saturday, we start to look ahead to the key encounters in our betting preview, which gives the best bets on New Zealand v France, Australia v Ireland and South Africa v England.
What’s in the news
Wales named their side for the Argentina clash, which sees lock Cory Hill captain the XV, while Grant Gilchrist will lead Scotland against Canada.
On the transfer front, Jesse Mogg has swapped Montpellier for Pau, while Julian Savea has committed his immediate future to New Zealand rugby by agreeing to play for the Wellington Lions in the upcoming Mitre 10 Cup.
Finally, following the serious injury to hooker Jordan Uelese, Waratahs front-rower Tolu Latu has been brought into the Australian squad as his replacement.
