London’s Olympic Stadium is being lined up to host the second Test between England and New Zealand on Saturday, November 7, according to a report in today’s League Express (Mon, 5 Jan).
With the first and final games set to take place in the North of England, the RFL has been in discussions to take the second Test south, with the main stadium of the 2012 London Olympics believed to be the venue of choice.
That game will take place a week after the third/fourth placed play-off in the Rugby Union World Cup, also at the Olympic Stadium on Friday, October 30 – the same night as the opening Test of the series between the English and the Kiwis.
