    No tests in Hamilton in two years? That sucks balls. It's a great ground. I don't know why they are playing a test at Harbour instead of one of the proper regional stadiums.

    That's three years between roadies!

    I agree. I'm glad we didn't get Argentina though as that seems to be the default test for Hamilton. A French test would have been nice. I don't think the Caketin deserves 2 tests in a season.

    Pretty amazing that Nelson would get an ABs test given that it's not many years since NZR didn't even want us to have an NPC team. 🙂

    However, I daresay they've crunched the numbers and will pretty much be guaranteed a sell-out crowd at Trafalgar Park, so no doubt found they might as well come here as anywhere else.

    In 2019 there will probably be only three home tests:

    1 versus South Africa/Argentina
    1 versus Australia
    1 versus a Pacific Island team

    You would imagine Wellington and Auckland would get two of those tests and Hamilton or Christchurch will get the other. Regardless one of those cities will probably go four years without a home test.

    PI test might be at North Harbour Stadium.. Can't imagine them playing a test too far away from Auckland, which has the most islander support..

    Mangataikoka in with a chance to host in 2019? About the same level of facilities as Trafalgar Park. A couple of uncovered temp seats whacked up around a field.

    All Blacks to take Bledisloe Test against Wallabies to Japan in 2018 ahead of World Cup

    THE All Blacks will take a potentially series-deciding Bledisloe Cup clash against the Wallabies in 2018 to Japan.
    
    It’s understood that the Test will be played in late October, in the lead up to the All Blacks’ match against Japan on November 3.
    
    The last time the trans-Tasman rivals played in Japan was back in 2009, when the All Blacks beat the Wallabies 32-19 in Tokyo.
    
    The last contest played outside of Australia between the two nations — outside of the World Cup — was in Hong Kong 2010, with Australia prevailing 26-24 thanks to a last-minute converted try to James O’Connor.
    
    With Japan to host the 2019 World Cup, the match will provide both teams another opportunity to familiarise themselves with the land before rugby’s showpiece tournament.
    

    This is an article from Fox Sports, so nothing official yet.

    @stargazer this was mentioned in the media a few weeks back as well. I think that is an ordinary idea for 2018.

    2019 will be a two test series with it being a World Cup year, it is the All Blacks turn to host two Bledisloe Tests next year, I reckon they should both be in NZ this time around.

    Reports in Ireland yesterday that Ireland will play New Zealand in Dublin next November, with a potential second match at a neutral venue a la Chicago last year.

    Ireland set to face All Blacks next year

    Ireland are set to face New Zealand in the 2018 November series and may even get two chances to topple the All Blacks.

    This seems the best place to post this, considering we had a discussion about the likes of Viagogo last year when people were looking for tickets for All Blacks matches.

    Ticket resellers (report from Consumer)

    Our investigation of the ticket resale market with Australian consumer group Choice found sky-high markups are far from the only problem.
    
    Of the 1051 consumers who provided information to our investigation:
    
    56% were charged extra fees on top of the ticket price
    15% didn't get the seat promised
    11% of purchasers paid for tickets that never arrived
    8% ended up with fake tickets, and
    3% were turned away at the door because their ticket had been purchased from a resale site and the venue wouldn’t honour it.
    
    Viagogo was the cause of most complaints. But other ticket resellers, including Ticketmaster Resale and StubHub, also featured.
    

    Quite a bit of useful info on that Consumer page (even without reading the report).

    Confirmed. Bledisloe III will be played in Japan in 2018:

    The third Bledisloe Cup match between New Zealand and Australia this year will be played in Japan, the Japan Rugby Football Union (JRFU) and New Zealand Rugby (NZR) have confirmed today.
    
    The match will be played at Nissan Stadium, Yokohama, on Saturday 27 October.
    

    So that's a week before the test against Japan. I assume that this year, the EOYT squad will be named before Bled III, and not after as in previous years.

    The ticketing details and kick-off time for the Yokohama Bledisloe Cup Test as well as the All Blacks vs Japan Test, will be announced by the JRFU in due course.

    According to rumours from Midi Olympique (19 March 2018), there may be two more games in June! They say there are negotiations with NZR about 2 games between the French Barbarians and two of the five NZ Super Rugby sides.

    French players will arrive in three different groups. A first group - only consisting of players selected for the XV de France squad - will assemble and travel after the Top 14 semi-finals on 25/26 May and, therefore, not include players from the Top 14 finalists. These players from the Top 14 finalists will arrive in the second group of XV de France players after the Top 14 Final on 2 June and land in NZ on the Tuesday before the first test in Auckland (9 June). This group of players will, therefore, not play that first test. The third group, the French Barbarians squad, would be located close to the French squad and only arrive after the first test. They would serve as reserves for the XV de France, but would also include players in their line-up that haven't played the first test. Midol doesn't mention the possible dates for the Barbarians games.

    By the way, the French Barbarians will already play a game against Georgia on 31 May in Tbilissi.

    Now which Super Rugby sides? The Crusaders are already playing the Western Force on 22 June, so I guess that rules them out. I vaguely remember reading about another SR team playing an Aussie team during the June break. Highlanders?

    Personally, if these rumours are true, I would prefer the French Baabaas to play the NZ Baabaas and the Maori ABs (a re-match of the November game).

    Thank goodness Italy is 4th and not Ireland! We can put the A team out for England and Ireland, bookended by the B side for the 1st and 4th games. I have a good few Irish mates who will be borderline insufferable if we lose to either England or Ireland or please not both teams!
