Clash of Hemispheres 2016 - mid-year rugby internationals

This weekend will see the Northern and Southern Hemispheres clash once more.
In the quarter finals of the Rugby World Cup last year, four Southern Hemisphere teams each played against a Northern Hemisphere team.  The Southern Hemisphere teams won and continued to the semifinals whilst the Northern Hemisphere teams went home to lick their wounds.  Since then, however, the Northerners have improved by leaps and bounds, so much so that in last weekend's interhemisphere games the Northeners won two games to one; only the All Blacks held out. 

This weekend there are four great match ups to watch:

The Mighty All Blacks take on the Welsh. 
The Japanese Brave Blossoms take on the Scottish - a game I am going to. 
Australia will play England. 
And Ireland will play South Africa. 
Also I think Argentina might be playing France, but I'm not sure. 

I'm heading up to Toyota City tomorrow to support the Japanese team.
