Chile\u2019s Men\u2019s test team is to return to Italy in March. Following the historic test match between Italy and Chile in Genoa<\/a> in November, a similar fixture is being organized for March, 2026. Italy \u2018A\u2019 will have home advantage against Los C\u00f3ndores in an uncapped fixture.<\/p>\n

The Federazione Italiana Rugby (FIR) is scheduling two matches for Italy \u2018A\u2019 in early 2026. Italy \u2018A\u2019 will face Scotland \u2018A\u2019 in February and face Italy in March. The Italy \u2018A\u2019 vs Chile match will take place in Italy, at a yet to be determined venue, on March 06.<\/p>\n

For Chile, the match against Italy \u2018A\u2019 brings the 2026 fixtures up to seven. Los C\u00f3ndores will play three home matches in July and three more in November. All six matches will be for the 2026 World Rugby Nations Cup<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Chile\u2019s confirmed 2026 fixtures do not include matches against Tier 1 opposition. In addition, the match against Italy \u2018A\u2019 sees the FIR expanding horizons in expanding relations with a Tier 2 union. Italy won the November contest 34-19<\/a> in Genoa.<\/p>\n

There may yet be further matches for Los C\u00f3ndores in 2026. ARN understands that there are ongoing negotiations between Chile Rugby and Rugby Australia. The Wallabies have two test matches confirmed against Los Pumas in Argentina on August 29 and September 05<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Wallabies\u2019 calendar also sees home matches against Japan on August 08 and August 15 and one against South Africa on September 27. In other words, Australia could add a stop in South America to face Los C\u00f3ndores in Chile either before or after the aforementioned two matches against Argentina.<\/p>\n
