2015 June rugby union tests

The 2015 mid-year rugby union internationals (also known as the Summer internationals in the Northern Hemisphere) refer to international rugby union matches that were mostly played in the Southern Hemisphere. Because of the 2015 Rugby World Cup, no test series took place. This allowed the European season to finish two weeks later, with the final of the 2014–15 Top 14 season taking place on 13 June. The 2015 Super Rugby season was able to run for 21 consecutive weeks, without the three-week international break in June, to allow an earlier and shortened 2015 Rugby Championship. Although the international window did not take place, some nations participating in the World Cup opted to play uncapped matches in preparation for the tournament. Uruguay hosted Fiji's A side, the Fiji Warriors in Montevideo, with the Warriors playing Argentina's A-side Argentina Jaguars, between the two fixtures. With Russia not competing in the 2015 Rugby World Cup, or either of World Rugby's Nations Cup or Tbilisi Cup, they toured Namibia for a two-test series. Three historic matches also took place. Samoa hosted New Zealand in Apia for the first time as an official test match, the first Pacific nation to do so. Kenya played two test matches, against Portugal and Spain. Portugal became the first European side to visit Kenya for an official test match.http://allafrica.com/stories/201505061305.html Kenya Ties Against Portugal, Spain Upgraded By World Rugby William
