Mid year rugby Summer Tours 2012 Full Schedule

The 2012 mid-year rugby Test series refers to the rugby union Internationals that will be played through June, mostly in the Southern Hemisphere.For Argentina, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, the Tests constitute preparation for the 2012 Rugby Championship.This series marks the start of a global playing calendar, running through 2019, established by the International Rugby Board. The calendar includes a return of traditional tours by European teams, in which a team plays multiple Tests against a southern side, often with midweek 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, will host nations in three-Test series. Australia hosts Wales, marking the first three-Test series in Australia by a top European side since the Lions' 2001 tour. New Zealand is hosting Ireland in the first three-Test tour of that country since the Lions visited in 2005; it is also Ireland's first-ever three-Test series against the All Blacks.South Africa hosts England for three Tests, the first extended tour of that country by a single nation since New Zealand toured in 1996.
