Id still like to play Samoa as well though, replace that fixture and add one (wishful thinkin).
Back in the 2003 World cup I went to every Samoa game and most the time sat behind their reserves. Became our "home" team

I realise there is a lot to do in changing a fixture, and not always possible even with the best intentions, but I wonder if they could change it to Friday night (29 June), Saturday night (30 June) or Sunday afternoon (1 July). That would give Samoa a 2 week break before their return match, and a week after the game against the Crusaders.
Just a thought.
Samoa are playing the 30th of June.
"Subject to any appeal of the disputes committee's decision, the winner of the European play-off between Germany and Portugal, provisionally scheduled for 9 June will play Samoa home and away in the play-off to determine the final Pool A place. The first leg will be played in Apia on 30 June with the return leg in Europe on 14 July"
What a headache
Pity we couldn't squeeze them in on the 2nd...
Wasn't there an Indo-Pacific Rugby Championship website? I swear there was and no can't find it. Anyone can provide the link? Cheers
