The All Blacks and Wallabies are poised to meet in an Anzac Day test match next year. 

The New Zealand Herald reports it is now almost certain that the All Blacks will travel to Australia —likely Perth— for the Bledisloe Cup test in April. 

It would form part of a three-game series in 2027, while the sides will also square off in pool play at the World Cup next year. 

NZ Herald’s Gregor Paul told Piney that for the coaching team, the match would provide a short window during Super Rugby to effectively test out where they will be playing in the World Cup ahead of time. 

However, he said, it does put a lot of pressure on the players to train over the summer so they’re ready for Super Rugby, and then maintain their form right through to November.
