    A South Island stadium tussle looms for home All Blacks matches beyond 2025

    A South Island stadium tussle looms for home All Blacks matches beyond 2025


    New Zealand Rugby's revealed its test schedule for next year - Dunedin will host the series opener against France in July.

    Christchurch has missed out - but is widely expected to host Scott Robertson's side when the new central city stadium opens in 2026.

    NZR boss Mark Robinson's offered a diplomatic response when asked if Christchurch and Dunedin could get a test in the same year - once Te Kaha is up and running.
