Do Vanuatu face Greece/China, or do they move up two seeds and face Guernsey?

Straight swap; Greece replace the Netherlands and China replaces Spain.

But IF Greece fail to show up too, then China would replace the Netherlands and Pakistan will replace Spain.

EDIT, EDIT, EDIT: Greece replaces Spain and China replaces the Netherlands. I forgot Spain had a higher seed due to being hosts.

Time to kidnap Targaryen too now pillow... Pakistan are a punching bag in this 'verse!

Right, China seems a much easier draw than Spain. Hope Finland topple Denmark too, then I'd fancy me self a semi spot. But obviously, China still have a few silvers so no pushovers. Should be a good match.
