2012 end-of-year women's rugby union tests
The 2012 end-of-year women's rugby union tests is a series of women's rugby union matches. For the second year in a row, New Zealand toured the Northern Hemisphere by playing three test matches against England. Black Ferns will try to revenge the double defeat suffered last year, when they were only able to get an 8–8 draw on final test day.[1][2]
As a trial run for 2014 Women's Rugby World Cup, United States faced Italy for the first time ever and France during a seven-day period.[3]
