Assuming it is NZ, Tonga and Samoa could play all games in NZ with Tonga v Samoa at Mt Smart and the others spread around the country

Though do like the idea of at least 1 game in Samoa

I’d go final at Eden park, assuming they do the relegation game again you’re guaranteed to have NZ, Tonga & Samoa all playing.

NZ games Vs Tonga & Samoa in NZ. Tonga V Samoa in Sydney or Brisbane.

Bowl: Fiji V PNG - 1 home game each with a neutral game as a double header with Tonga V Samoa.

The Kiwis are likely to have zero home games in 2026 with the RLWC being in Australia & PNG, let them host the 4 Tests and make some money and try and rebuild their supporter base.
New Zealand v Samoa - Christchurch
Tonga v Samoa - Eden Park
New Zealand v Tonga - Dunedin/Hamilton//Mt Smart/Christchurch again

Final - Eden Park

gee the NRL has come a long way (and/or AFL has dropped a bit)
A few years ago it might have been 15k for the NRL and 30k for the AFL

This includes AFLW - which drastically affects the average, but also scattered NRLW and Pac Champs results

The AFL averaged 37,000 last year, NRL 20,000.

That 54 +% that NRL crowds are of the fumbles crowds is I believe a record, with a definite upward trend over the last decade or so.

NRL has had some big improvements in recent years - that 21% increase in 2023 is pretty much a record percentage increase (the AFL did 17%), but both attendance averages were records
