• Source: 2006 end-of-year rugby union internationals

      • The 2006 end of year tests, also known as the 2006 Autumn Internationals, refers to several international rugby union matches that took place during November 2006 principally between touring teams from the southern hemisphere – Australia, Argentina, New Zealand, the Pacific Islands and South Africa – and one or more teams from the Six Nations Championship: England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales. Canada and Romania also played Six Nations teams during this period.
      Ireland's games were the last Tests to be played at Lansdowne Road before it was closed for redevelopment.

      Week 1



      The attendance for this game was a stadium record.


      Week 2



      This was Argentina's first, and to date only, victory against a reigning Rugby World Cup holder.

      South Africa played in kits similar to those worn by the 1906 touring squad, which was captained by Paul Roos.


      Week 3



      The Italian squad included seven players born in Argentina: Pablo Canavosio, Gonzalo Canale, Ramiro Pez, Sergio Parisse, Santiago Dellapè, Martin Castrogiovanni and Carlos Nieto. Of them, six were in the starting line-up; only Carlos Nieto was on the bench.
