Reports in Ireland yesterday that Ireland will play New Zealand in Dublin next November, with a potential second match at a neutral venue a la Chicago last year.

Is that Nelson test still confirmed?

This seems the best place to post this, considering we had a discussion about the likes of Viagogo last year when people were looking for tickets for All Blacks matches.
Ticket resellers (report from Consumer)
Our investigation of the ticket resale market with Australian consumer group Choice found sky-high markups are far from the only problem. Of the 1051 consumers who provided information to our investigation: 56% were charged extra fees on top of the ticket price 15% didn't get the seat promised 11% of purchasers paid for tickets that never arrived 8% ended up with fake tickets, and 3% were turned away at the door because their ticket had been purchased from a resale site and the venue wouldn’t honour it. Viagogo was the cause of most complaints. But other ticket resellers, including Ticketmaster Resale and StubHub, also featured.Quite a bit of useful info on that Consumer page (even without reading the report).

No tests in Hamilton in two years? That sucks balls. It's a great ground. I don't know why they are playing a test at Harbour instead of one of the proper regional stadiums.
That's three years between roadies!
Harbour stadium is a pit

@stargazer Is that Italy game confirmed? Am sure I read somewhere we were playing Scotland again on the EOYT as well

Found the games & dates on the All Blacks Tours site: https://www.allblackstours.com/fixtures/northern-tour/
and added the venues that have been officially announced.

@stargazer Thanks. Going to a game in Italy is always a great day out, so happy about that match being included

Oh hell yes! Porchetta sandwich probably tops a hot dog on a stick.

All Blacks to take Bledisloe Test against Wallabies to Japan in 2018 ahead of World Cup
THE All Blacks will take a potentially series-deciding Bledisloe Cup clash against the Wallabies in 2018 to Japan. It’s understood that the Test will be played in late October, in the lead up to the All Blacks’ match against Japan on November 3. The last time the trans- Ta$man rivals played in Japan was back in 2009, when the All Blacks beat the Wallabies 32-19 in Tokyo. The last contest played outside of Australia between the two nations — outside of the World Cup — was in Hong Kong 2010, with Australia prevailing 26-24 thanks to a last-minute converted try to James O’Connor. With Japan to host the 2019 World Cup, the match will provide both teams another opportunity to familiarise themselves with the land before rugby’s showpiece tournament.This is an article from Fox Sports, so nothing official yet.
Confirmed. Bledisloe III will be played in Japan in 2018:
The third Bledisloe Cup match between New Zealand and Australia this year will be played in Japan, the Japan Rugby Football Union (JRFU) and New Zealand Rugby (NZR) have confirmed today. The match will be played at Nissan Stadium, Yokohama, on Saturday 27 October.So that's a week before the test against Japan. I assume that this year, the EOYT squad will be named before Bled III, and not after as in previous years.
The ticketing details and kick-off time for the Yokohama Bledisloe Cup Test as well as the All Blacks vs Japan Test, will be announced by the JRFU in due course.http://www.allblacks.com/News/31975/bledisloe-cup-match-confirmed-for-japan

@stargazer this was mentioned in the media a few weeks back as well. I think that is an ordinary idea for 2018.
2019 will be a two test series with it being a World Cup year, it is the All Blacks turn to host two Bledisloe Tests next year, I reckon they should both be in NZ this time around.
I still think it is a shitty idea for 2018.

@majorrage I was more referring to the news that New Zealand is now inside Australia.
Was @jegga present for said beer? I'm liable to think you're fibbing otherwise.
@jegga only shows up for breakfast

Couldn't find a better thread to post this. This is about a test in 2020:
