Portugal vs Spain 11 April 16:00 WEST
Belgium vs Netherlands 11 April 17:00 CEST
On the 🇪🇸🇳🇱🇵🇹🇧🇪 #RugbyEurope Championship we have round 2.
Spain visiting their neighbours with another half-powered team, but should be more than enough.
And the Belgians defeated (twice) a Dutch development team last month, but now face the whole might of the Orange.
World Rugby rankings: 19 Kazakhstan 20 Germany 21 Kenya 22 Portugal 23 Sweden 24 Belgium
With their recent victory against Sweden, where they won the title of the 🇸🇪🇩🇪🇫🇮 #RugbyEurope Trophy, Germany has broken into the top 20 of WR official rankings.
If I'm not mistaken, that's their highest rank ever.
The English start the #U21W6N against Scotland in 2 weeks, while the Spanish continue the #RugbyEurope Championship visiting Portugal next Saturday.
Sweden vs Germany 0–29
🇸🇪🇩🇪🇫🇮 #RugbyEurope Trophy
Germany wins their 1st title. Good game with strong forwards opening the way for the backs to score.
Sweden not out of the game, but too obsessed with the pick-and-go and not knowing how to use the strong wind to their advantage when they could.

Also Saturday is the last game of the 🇸🇪🇩🇪🇫🇮 #RugbyEurope Trophy.
Both teams already defeated Finland, so Sweden & Germany battle for the title.
Head-to-head is 7–3 for the Swedes, but this time the Germans are favourites since the way they won against the Finns was overwhelming.
Spain vs England U21 Live on YouTube
More international games.
This Saturday the Spanish host England U21.
The English kids are gearing up for the new #U21W6N starting in 2 weeks, while the Spanish new coach continues trying out players on this #RugbyEurope Championship rest week.
The Dutch side was overwhelming in Amsterdam, putting up a massive 59–0 scoreline against Portugal! 🇳🇱 Meanwhile, Las Leonas were just as strong in Madrid, keeping Belgium off the board entirely with a 39–0 victory. 🦁🇪🇸

🇪🇸🇳🇱🇵🇹🇧🇪 #RugbyEurope Championship Round 1
Competition starts with the Dutch on the lead on points difference.
2 bonus wins for the stronger teams, and two zeroes for the weaker ones.
Competition stops for a week, but the Spanish don't rest cause they face England U21 this Saturday.
Netherlands vs Portugal 59–0
🇪🇸🇳🇱🇵🇹🇧🇪 #RugbyEurope Championship Round 1
The Dutch take the lead on the table after a really easy 9 try win.
Some slivers of quality from the Portuguese when they had the ball on the 1st half, but extremely poor defence. On many of the Dutch tries they just walked between the enemy players.
Less than 2 hours for the 2nd game of the 🇪🇸🇳🇱🇵🇹🇧🇪 #RugbyEurope Championship
The Dutch hopping this is finally their year while the Portuguese want to show how much they have improved.
Spain vs Belgium 39–0
🇪🇸🇳🇱🇵🇹🇧🇪 #RugbyEurope Championship Round 1
Many imperfections by the champs, and yet just 25 minutes before the try bonus.
Still kudos for Belgium for never losing their fighting spirit against a massively superior foe and keeping Las Leonas at bay for almost the whole 2nd half (against the wind!)
At the same time, the 1st match of the 🇪🇸🇳🇱🇵🇹🇧🇪 #RugbyEurope Championship
Spain not using their full force, but they should have no trouble against the recently promoted Belgians.

And last but not least, the 🇪🇸🇳🇱🇵🇹🇧🇪 #RugbyEurope Championship starts this weekend.
Spain are favourites, but the Dutch have improved a lot the past years.
For their part, Portugal has called up a few ladies playing in Spain and France, while Belgium has recently defeated twice a Dutch development team.

🇭🇷🇦🇩🇷🇴🇨🇿🇧🇬🇳🇴🇬🇪🇦🇹🇬🇷 #RugbyEurope Conference

Germany vs Finland 68–0
🇸🇪🇩🇪🇫🇮 #RugbyEurope Trophy
A more than solid win for Germany against a Finland that barely entered the home team 22 a couple times. A field day for the Phoenix backs who scored 11 of their team 12 tries.
The Germans top now the table and will play the decider against Sweden next April.
