Referees to 24 August 2014
It is the second round of The Rugby Championship and SANZAR will be hoping for much better weather than was experienced in Sydney and Pretoria in the first round.
The stadium in Salta, a modern place that seats 20 000, is named after Father Ernesto Martearena, a priest who did much to alleviate the lot of the poor and was murdered in 2001.
In Australia a brand new competition comes to life - the National Rugby Championship with new teams with new names. Nine teams will take part, which means that one will have a bye each year.
In France there is the second round of the Top 14 and the first round of the Pro D2.
