Sunday afternoon Test
By Steve Mascord
March 07, 2007
Article from:
AUSTRALIA will play only its second Sunday afternoon Test match in more than a decade against New Zealand in October.
ARL chief executive Geoff Carr yesterday announced this year's second trans-Tasman Test would be held at Wellington's Westpac Stadium on October 14, just six days before a Kiwi side with Andrew Johns as special guest is due to take on the Northern Union at Halliwell Jones Stadium, Warrington.
The green-and-golds last played on a Sunday afternoon against France at Perpignan in 2004, with the previous clash on the once-traditional Test match day against a Papua New Guinea side in Port Moresby during 1996 at the height of the Super League War.
The trans-Tasman rivals renew their Tri-Nations final rivalry on April 20 at Suncorp Stadoum in the Anzac Test.
