I'm hearing Sky Stadium is almost sold out for the Ireland test and likewise for Eden Park. Bit surprising this far out but good all the same.
Good to hear. A fair amount of that might be visiting Irish support.
To be honest, it always surprises me when All Blacks Tests against quality opposition aren't sold out. Who wouldn't want to see one of the greatest sports teams in the world do battle with their foes?

I'm going to the Irish club before the game, just down the road at Eden Park. I'm not Irish, but my mate is.
Not sure potato jokes will go down well, or the 'call me when you get a semi' ... so any more PC jokes or banter welcomed

Good idea and I think I'll go to this one. Given how many Boks fans have swapped RSA for South London this will almost be an away came against the Old Foe. We will juat have to shout louder than them. Go Black!

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.

@KiwiMurph Cheers. My oint still stands that the official schedule was released with TBC.
The G is a shit place for a rugby game.

Wellington Regional Stadium – Wellington / Te Whanganui-a-Tara, New ZealandWhen did the Sky Stadium in Wellington get it's name changed?

@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.
