NZ v England

[roughyedspud]

im hearing massive whispers that perth or auckland will host this game on the same weekend as the pacifc test series,the old anzac test weekend..may 6/7th 2017...


i know the kiwis will want it in auckland cos they hardly ever get home tests...but i think id opt for perth anf use it to promote the world cup

Perth? Fairdinkum... stick it in NZ

 

[roughyedspud]

Im happy with either to be honest

 

[mikeob]

Great if it happens, but it has to be Auckland.

 

[roughyedspud]

If its in perth im tempted to pop over for a week and go....but auckland is abit too far,don't think people realise its 8+hours from perth to nz......i could fly to new york quicker

Would be nice to see this confirmed before/just after the 4 Nations.

 

[Foreign Legion]

i can see why they want it in perth... wayne wants to fill england with aussies

 

[roughyedspud]

That makes no sense what so ever

 

[adamkungl]

Perth would be a strange choice

Only trouble is NZ will be playing Australia in May 2017.The Anzac test has one more year to go,it may be a goer in 2018 though.Perths time zone would be more friendly for a UK audience too.England should hit Samoa or PNG up for a game in May next year.I did a 1-17 of NRL based English eligible players so travel wouldn't be a concern.

The backs are a bit average but that is probably how your forwards will line up against the Aussies in October.
