End-of-year Rugby Union Internationals 2012

The 2012 End-of-Year Rugby Union Internationals were a series of international rugby union matches that ran from October 20th to December 1st .

The internationals had a major influence on the group division at the 2015 World Cup this year , as the placement of the already qualified teams in the world rankings after the internationals were over was decisive for the allocation to the lottery pots from which the groups were then drawn.
