It sounds like the International calendar is set for this year.
England will play a 3 test series against Tonga. The venues will be St Helens, Huddersfield and Headingley.
Australia, NZ and Samoa will play a tri series in NZ.
PNG, Fiji and the Cook Islands will play in a separate tri nations
Got to say, not much to moan about with the Tonga series.
Venues are in the heartlands, but we should sell all 3 out easily and hopefully have some good games & atmosphere's to boot.
Games still close to seasons end, so players will still be in playing condition, but enough time for a bit of a rest and some training sessions together.
The pricing is fair and realistic, and the 3 venue's being in relatively close proximity with no daft outliers like one game on london means they can do offers such as the 3 game bundle they are offering. Which is great value for money imo and should be popular.
Looking forward to this series, will be interesting how some fresh faces go in it, should be quite a youthful England team. Think me and my mates are going to go for the 3 match bundle from discussions this morning, 3rd game is only £2.50 with that offer.
