All Blacks to play in America.

At this stage its still in negotiation but it looks almost certain that the All Blacks will play a Bledisloe cup game (which is against Australia) which will be held at the INVESCO Field in Denver, Colorado, This venue seats 78,000 people and its expected to be sold out to maximum capacity. At this stage it is scheduled for October 31 next year. A USA Rugby chief executive has said that his organization was keen to sell rugby to the American public and saw an Australia-New Zealand test as the best possible promotion because these two great rugby nations are the best in the world.

The proposal still needs signing off by USA rugby but it all depends on television rights and sponsorship deals.
Its all about foreign sports breaking into new marketplaces, The perfect example was the successful staging of an NFL match at Wembley in London in October last year which drew a crowd of about 82,000 people.

If this match goes ahead it will huge for the professional sport of Rugby worldwide, It might even bring some Americans to New Zealand for the next rugby world cup in 2011. Get to the match if at all possible, Seeing the AB's performing the haka live is an experience you'll never forget. If i can afford it, I will be there for sure.
