    Hamilton will welcome the All Blacks to town for the first time in three years next year

    Hamilton will welcome the All Blacks to town for the first time in three years next year


    FMG Stadium Waikato will host the third and final test against France in July, the venue's first test since Argentina in 2022.

    It's unclear whether Hamilton would have hosted a test had the French Rugby Federation agreed to move one of the tests to the United States - with Dunedin and Wellington to host the first two matches of the series.

    The 50-test unbeaten run at Eden Park will be sorely tested by the Springboks on September 6th before a rematch in the capital seven days later, with Auckland hosting the Bledisloe Cup test against the Wallabies on September 27th.

    The Black Ferns have Pac-Four tests in May against Canada in Christchurch and the USA at Albany, before facing Australia prior to the second All Blacks-France test in Wellington.
