Though still in negotiations, pending a sign off by USA Rugby, the All Blacks may play a Bledisloe Cup game at the Invesco Field in Denver, CO. At this point, it looks like the match-up with Australia would take place on October 31, 2009.USA Rugby CEO Nigel Melville says his organization is definitely a fan of the proposal, keen on the idea of using the NZ-Aussie match as the ideal test for selling rugby to the American public.
On November 1 this year a Bledisloe Cup test match will take place in Hong Kong.
Since my trip to Aussie last summer, I have been hoping to travel to New Zealand for the 2011 World Cup. A flight to Denver to see two of the greatest rugby nations in the world play in 2009 might be a nice warm-up.
