Welsh Rugby Union hopes for 10,000 at Canada and Argentina games

Wales host Canada on 3 July and have two Test matches against Argentina on 10 and 17 July.

Phillips says the governing body hopes for confirmation on crowd numbers on 7 June.

"My hope is we can get to 10,000. What I've heard is it will probably be the lower of 25% or 10,000," said Phillips.

The Welsh government has approved pilot events to test the impact of Covid-19 on returning crowds, including football matches.

No Welsh rugby teams have so far been included among those events with Wales' four rugby regions also awaiting developments.

Welsh rugby fans still plan to visit Tonga

World Rugby confirmed last week the test would not be held in Nuku'alofa because of doubts over the readiness of Teufaiva National Stadium.

The 'Ikale Tahi haven't played at home since 2009 and head coach Toutai Kefu said the match would now be played in New Zealand, at either Growers Stadium in Pukekohe or North Harbour Stadium.

But the Director of Ultimate Australia, Hugh Downie, said their tour group of about 50 Welsh rugby fans are still planning to visit the Kingdom.
