I am having trouble figuring out rugby schedules while we will be in the UK as I would like to see a match if possible. Can anyone help with that? We will be in London July 25-27th, Edinburgh July 30th-August 1st, Lake District August 2nd-4th, and Manchester August 5th-6th. Any help is appreciated.

I can't say you won;t find a rugby game at that time of year, but they will be scarce. Rugby and football (soccer) are winter sports in Europe.

Couldn't tempt you with Test cricket, could I?
The First Pakistan 5 day day Test will be July 29th to August 2nd at Trent Bridge...

If we were closer to Nottingham those dates I would probably attend.
Guess I'll have to come back in the winter sometime for a rugby match. I'd love to watch a 6 Nations match live.

Just schedule your next visit for Sept/Oct and the start of the English domestic season!
Edit - There is a limited over cricket game between Middlesex and Yorkshire at Lords Cricket Ground (the spiritual home of cricket) on the 25th July starting at 1.45 pm.

Rugby League (like Rugby Union but 13 a side, no line outs etc) is played in the British summer. It is really only popular in Yorkshire and Lancashire. There are teams based near Manchester such as Salford, Wigan, St Helens etc.
