Auckland and Dunedin have won out in the race to host All Blacks tests in their truncated season ahead of the Rugby World Cup

Auckland and Dunedin have won out in the race to host All Blacks tests in their truncated season ahead of the Rugby World Cup

7 February 2023

New Zealand Rugby has also had to deal with the added complication of the FIFA World Cup knocking Eden Park and Sky Stadium out of contention.

Mount Smart Stadium will host the world champion Springboks on Saturday July the 15th, with the All Blacks flying back from Argentina that week after opening the season against Los Pumas.

Their other home test is the second Bledisloe Cup match on Saturday August 5th in Dunedin - a 2:35pm kickoff, in what could be Highlanders favourite Aaron Smith's last test on home soil.
