       We need the money !!!

Source: Bledisloe for Twickenham

Australian rugby union officials are reportedly planning to stage a Bledisloe Cup clash in England next year.

“We may even play All Blacks and the Wallabies at Twickenham, that’s not out of the question.”

A Twickenham Test has the potential windfall for all three parties, with gate takings worth an estimated $10 million [AUD]

My Comments: [ Tew / ONeill ] Sorry Aussie and Kiwi fans, we need to ‘whore’ out the national rugby side for foreign currency because we are broke. We were a little naughty with the financial management over the last couple of years, our new rugby fan must be holding Yen, Pounds and US dollars. Dear local kiwi and Aussie fans we will sell this to you as the most recent concept of the new world of professional rugby, and we wont at any point time say ‘sorry we stuffed up with the financial management of the game’.

UPDATE1: Twickers Bledisloe ruled out – Greg Ford

New Zealand rugby officials dismissed suggestions the All Blacks might play a Bledisloe Cup match in London in the near future.

Australian rugby boss and motormouth John O’Neill mooted the idea this week.

Tew told Gifford: “As I think people know, we have had an idea we might play a test in the USA in Denver and there is the possibility we might play on the east coast of America.

“We are looking at all these options but nothing is well advanced and we’re not working on a Twickenham test, or not of late. It’s possible my Australian colleagues have been, but we certainly have not. We have a full programme this year and we’re pretty close to having a full programme next year.”
