Anzac Test

Yeah, I think, um, I wanna, uh, 'cause I've, I've watched it as a kid, watching the rivalry.

Um, you could see how much, like, Anzac Test would be awesome to bring back.

Yeah.

You know, like-

So look, everything's kind of got to be on the table, right? And you look at what the NRL has done, as I said, taking Origin to New Zealand next year.

We have seen some progress with the Anzac Test, seeing the draw, I think, week before last.

We might have glossed over it on the pot around the Reds and the Blues will still play on that weekend in Brisbane for the Anzac Test next year.

So that'll be a real kind of Rugby weekend, soup round confirmed to go back to Christchurch.

So, look, I guess the islands are shifting a little bit, but they need to shift some more.

It is, yeah.

And next year we've got an Anzac Test, um, in around March, you know.

Um, and that game's gonna be played, I think, at 1:00 p.m., then followed by the Aussie rules, the Rugby League, and then, you know, those nat- those, you know, traditional matches, so-

Those ANZ games

Last year it was Super Round, which was glorious.

They've moved Super Round to accommodate the Anzac Test, which-

Yeah

... you know, it's fine.

I don't mind that.

But for some reason the Reds and the Blues have to play on the Friday night before the Anzac Test, which seems...

Surely just take the weekend off.

I can't quite understand it.

Super round down there in Christchurch.

You've got one game before the Anzac Test.

Auckland Blues, the Blues, sorry, taking on the Queensland Reds over there in Brisbane.

It's curtain raiser before the big test.

Super Rugby, Super Rugby Pacific, set to confirm, according to a story by Richard Noller and Stuff, Super Round to return to Christchurch won't be on Anzac weekend because the All Blacks are playing the Australians.

The Bledisloe Test match, Anzac Test.

So it'll be April 2nd to 4th.

Get your flights booked before they get jacked up.

So I don't know all the code.

It's like working with two Freemasons here.

You've all got your secret language, haven't you? Hey, you know what? The All Blacks play a test match on Sunday morning, 9am in Baltimore.

And let's get out of the blocks with the All Blacks team to play South Africa.

12-plus tries in three straight seasons for the Warriors.

And, yeah, a permanent fixture at centre or wing, became a staple in the New Zealand team, debuted in that 98 Anzac Test victory.

But unfortunately for us, he was plucked by the Bulldogs for 2001.

Man, imagine that centre combination if we had him and Torpy in that great team of the early 2000s.

They were unreal.

They also won the ANZAC Test that year.

Bring that back, please.

You've also then got 2008.

Yep.

That has to come back on the calendar is the Anzac Test.

Yeah.

Brother.
