Greece pulled out at the last minute. Only Slovakia has a history of competition play in the Rugby Europe international test competitions. Estonia has only played a handful of friendlies except to defeat Belarus 59-12 in a preliminary contest to qualify for this tournament. For Montenegro they will be making their test rugby debut.

Montenegro was part of Yugoslavia from 1945. They stayed united with Serbia until declaring their independence in 2006.
