2012 June rugby union tests

May 2020 The 2012 mid-year rugby union tests (also known as the Summer Internationals in the Northern Hemisphere) refer to the rugby union Internationals that were played through June, mostly in the Southern Hemisphere. These matches marked the start of a global rugby calendar established by the International Rugby Board (IRB), which runs until 2019. The calendar includes a return of traditional tours by European teams, in which a team plays multiple Tests against a southern hemisphere side, often with mid-week matches against provincial or regional sides. This year, all three of the teams that competed in the Rugby Championship's predecessor tournament, the Tri Nations, hosted European nations in three-Test series. Australia hosted Wales, marking the first three-Test series in Australia by a top European side since the British & Irish Lions' 2001 tour.http://www.espnscrum.com/australia/rugby/story/153602.html Wallabies confirm dates with Wales and Scotland ESPN Scrum 4 November 2011 11 November 2011 South Africa hosted England for three Tests, the first extended tour of that country by a single nation since New Zealand toured in 1996.http://www.espnscrum.com/england/rugby/story/115847.html England book three-Test series with Boks ESPN Scrum 19 May 2010 11 November 2011 The new calendar also provided expanded Test opportunities for so-called "Tier 2" nations. As part of this IRB initiative, another tradition returned – tours of the Pacific Islands by major nations. Scotland became the first Tier 1 nation to play a Test in the Pacific Islands since 2006, visiting Fiji and Samoa.http://www.irb.com/newsmedia/mediazone/pressrelease/newsid=2062854.html#inbound+tours+return+pacific+islands Inbound tours return for Pacific Islands International Rugby Board 15 June 2012 17 June 2012 https://web.archive.org/web/20120618043134/http://www.irb.com/newsmedia/mediazone/pressrelease/newsid=2062854.html#inbound+tours+return+pacific+islands 18 June 2012 dead Also, Italy toured the Americas, claiming wins over Canada and the United States and a loss to Argentina.
