Just throwing some random facts out there:
Wikipedia calls them End-of-Year rugby union internationals
"The End of year rugby union tests, known as Autumn internationals in the Northern Hemisphere, ..."
The number of results returned by Google also supports "EOYT", although I'm surprised by that (would have thought the much larger number of shitty rags in the Home Nations would have swayed this)
"Autumn Internationals" 1,570 (and a lot of these refer to sooker)
"November Internationals" 60,300
"EOYT" 357,000And with all that in mind, when I started looking for tickets, I searched for "Autumn Internationals". Been living in this dark damp shithole for too long.
Lower Hutt?

Tried google for 'Spring Tour' and only really found the small handful of Australian reports already mentioned being reused elsewhere. Could even be from one person.
The ABC (who presumably write their own stuff rather than reprint) refer to the end-of-season tour.Of course no one in the SH would refer to them as the AIs
Are they referred to as the EOYTs because it is near the end of the actual calendar year or because it is the near end of the rugby season?
We tend to call them the Autumn Internationals because it is Autumn.
Up here.
Where the tests are held.
Where we get to keep all the money. -

Maybe that one person works in the Australian Rugby Union....
Or maybe it’s Nathan Grey:
“Since Michael's taken over the team at the start of 2014 Spring Tour, the team's been through a lot in terms of both success and not achieving what we want to achieve through the spring tour 2014 into 2015,” he said.BEIN Sports?
“Watch every match of New Zealand's Spring Tour EXCLUSIVELY LIVE on beIN SPORTS, as the All Blacks look to bounce back from their shock Bledisloe Cup loss to the Wallabies.” -

It seems:
Brits of all flavours follow the English "we're the centre of the world" naming standard of "Autumn Internationals", or "Autumn Series" to be just that little bit different
Australians, being the contrary idiots they are, decided to call it a "Spring Tour"
South Africans, still stoked to be allowed outside, call it the "Outgoing Tour"
New Zealanders, being inherently sensible, use End-of-Year-Tour for us, or for more general use: End-of-Year-Tests/Internationals - the only term which would/should make sense to everybody
(Except officially - where apparently the All Blacks call it the Vista Northern Tour - having apparently sold worthless naming rights?) -
@kruse If you look where the meridian is you will see that we ARE the centre of the world.

I nearly included a snide comment about GMT
China may have you beat, considering their country's name, in Mandarin, could be translated to "centre of the world".
Which reminds me of an anecdote relevant to the aussie-idiot-bashing/baiting... of when I lived in China, and an Australian had just learnt that the Mandarin word for China wasn't "China".
"But, but... what do you mean, what else would they call it? We call Australia - "Australia"".
Classic. -

Umm, no. You are on one of the axes because you put yourself there. By your logic the centre of the world is in the Gulf of Guinea

Now don't go trying to bring logic into it. We decided all those years ago just where time itself would start, which was enough. Logic may have slipped a bit but were were very busy at the time painting large proportions of the world map pink.

Wait a second.
Stop the world.
Let me get this straight.

@pot-hale Welcome to the club of perceived ultimate privilege. It’s all downhill for you now mate.
-
@pot-hale Yeah, hadn't thought of "free Ireland" when I described all-ya-all's as "Brits of all flavours", but fuck it - gotta go with it now I guess.
You're all tarred with the same brush when it comes to the ruggaz, or at least this particular subject. British Isles. Home Nations. Some other trolling nonsense.
BTW - does anybody know how the frogs or eye-ties term these "Southern Hemisphere teams winding down with a bit of a holiday" games? -
@catogrande said in Revenue Sharing:
@kruse Ha! Made me chuckle.
Yeah,
"We call Australia - "Australia"".
Still one of the funniest things I've ever heard. Poor fluffybunny was genuinely confused, and I was struggling to keep it together as an entire room of ex-pats stared at him flabber-gasted. This was in the staff-room of an english-teaching school. This guy was a "teacher".

Chur. Must have been corrupted by you island-monkeys.
But should probably add "tournee d'automne" to any future scientific tests re: google result quantity
