    There's a buzz in Dunedin - with confirmation the city will once again play host to an All Blacks test

    There's a buzz in Dunedin - with confirmation the city will once again play host to an All Blacks test


    New Zealand will face off against France in the 2025 season opener at Forsyth Barr Stadium in July.

    It's the only test match to be played in the South Island.

    A Dunedin Venues Management survey found 69 percent of attendees to this year's game, travelled from outside the region - and spent 770-dollars each on average.

    Chief Executive Paul Doorn says it's exciting news for rugby fans - and for local businesses.
