All Blacks Test match venues (upcoming fixtures)

[Bovidae]

We see the effect of not being able to use Eden Park and Wellington RS because of the Women's football WC. Forsyth Barr has their last game only 4 days before the Bledisloe Cup game.

Edit: I'll add that Stadium Waikato is also unavailable.

Bledisloe rivalry to be renewed at the MCG in 2023

Rugby union will make a return to the MCG for the first time since 2007, after Rugby Australia and the Victorian Government secured the Bledisloe Cup matches on Melbourne soil in 2022 and 2023.

[Crucial]

@KiwiMurph Cheers. My oint still stands that the official schedule was released with TBC.

The G is a shit place for a rugby game.

When did the Sky Stadium in Wellington get it's name changed?

[Stargazer]

@Higgins I think it's for certain events that they use the stadium's name without the sponsor name. Wellington Regional Stadium is the official name is there isn't a sponsor name attached to it. This isn't the first time (I just can't remember when I've seen it before, but I know I have). I assume it's because FIFA has it's own sponsors for the Women's Football World Cup, but not sure.

[Bovidae]

Yes, all the sponsors names associated with the stadia have been omitted. Gotta make room for the Saudi sponsors.

[Higgins]

@Stargazer If it is not Sky Stadium then surely it is The Cake Tin!

[Stargazer]

By the way, what's interesting is that the Bledisloe Cup (2) match in Dunedin is an afternoon game!

The last afternoon Bledisloe in Dunedin Eddie Jones was Wallaby coach and was the last Wallaby win in NZ - i'm sure the media will get their money's worth out of that storyline.

[Dan54]

@Stargazer would assume it the same as Rugby WC, clean stadia, including names.

[Stargazer]

@KiwiMurph Ahh, I think Eddie mentioned that in that press conference that I posted in the Aussie Rugby thread, a week ago. I assume he already knew this test would be played in Dunedin.

have to say i was pleasantly surprised with Docklands last year, much better than i thought it would be, MCG has some great stands, even top deck will have a good view due to the steepness of the stands....but the mitch is 20m longer and wider....good angle but even further from the action

[Stargazer]

Good to have a list of all ABs tests:

[chimoaus]

They missed an opportunity to list the dates of the QF,SF and F with opponents TBA.
