The Rugby Football League is close to taking its first big Rugby League game to the new City of Manchester Stadium.
The 48,000 all-seater stadium - built for the 2002 Commonwealth Games, and now the home of Manchester City football club - has been visited by RFL officials, who are thought to be ready to take the final of this autumns Tri-Nations series, between New Zealand, Australia and Great Britain, to the ground.
The only major issue is thought to rest on whether a new playing surface is installed at the stadium this summer.
The RFL are also thought to be considering using Fulhams Craven Cottage ground for the Australia v New Zealand Tri-Nations game.

Seems to me to be the ideal venue for the tri nations final. It will sell out, I'm sure of it, esspecially if the final features the British and Irish Lions. It will be interesting to see if London gets any matches.
