Really shithead?
Here is the 2023 international rugby league calendar in full, including every confirmed fixture and key dates for the men's and women's test matches.

So far, England only have one locked in date to take on France on April 29.
They have been confirmed as part of the 2023 European Championship, though it is understood the preference is to still hold a test series against a southern hemisphere nation. However, that won’t be either Australia or New Zealand.
If that was to happen, then England Knights could line up in the European competition, which will partly make up a World Cup qualifying section.
The two sides who finish highest, outside of England and France, will qualify for the 2025 World Cup.
However, the other nations aren’t too happy with the prospect of the Knights side being parachuted in. Even though it would likely make things more competitive, they see it as devaluing the competition and themselves as international nations.
Whichever version of England shows up, if you’re betting on rugby today, then all will have them as favourites.
Or the actual press release

England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland, Serbia, Spain and Wales will contest the 2023 European Championship A, to be played in two groups of four.
The bottom 4 from that play again next year to get in
So yes you are wrong again
As for the other nations, This sort of stuff takes preference
From that you can get the Govt onboard to hopefully host tests, So why lock stuff in when there could be better places to host it than Campbelltown or Auckland.
So Cricket is sorted? So is Gabba, Adelaide or Perth hosting the 1st test? Back to a November date or is it still December?
