PORTUGAL V URUGUAY CONFIRMATION (03.10)
Portugal did not award test ‘caps’

was Portugal XV v Uruguay. The status of Uruguay’s position is in question as
both teams used 10 replacements during the match.

Looks like CAR Super 16 (in
effect Africa Division 2) finals will be played in two legs.
This Saturday, Nigeria v
Niger in Niamey being the first leg, whilst 2nd leg will be played in Nigeria
in "2 weeks time" making that 6th/7th October.
The same probably applies to
The South final Tanzania v Reunion but I'm not certain.
The article indicates the
Tanzania v Reunion first leg is yet to be determined but Tanzania tells me its
7 October.
