One thing is for sure, if the Australian Kangaroos are hosting the match, it will take place in Australia- surprising I know.

I say that because this is a match that gets taken around the country and is coveted by just about every stadium management company in the country.

The chances are that the match will take place in the heartlands of the sport, so either in New South Wales or Queensland and that will likely mean in the cities of Sydney or Brisbane, although it could easily also take place in either Newcastle or Townsville.

Outside of those states, there is a chance it will take place in either Melbourne or Perth but no matter where it takes place, the stadium will be packed out and the atmosphere will be white hot.

Stadium(s)

There are a few matches that could host a match up such as this one but the likely option for matches held in New Zealand is the Mount Smart Stadium.

Also, the home of the New Zealand Warriors, the stadium is the home of Rugby League in New Zealand and has quickly become an iconic venue on the international stage thanks to hosting numerous big matches for both the Kiwis and the Tongan national sides.

The stadium is always easy to recognise thanks to its unique set up that feature two huge grandstands and two steeply banked grass verges which comes from it been built in the quarried remnants of the Rarotonga volcanic cone.

One stand is a large two tier one full of general access seats whilst the other is a multi-tier stand that is a mixture of GA seating and corporate facilities.

There is a temporary stand behind one set of sticks to helps cope with the huge fanbase of the Warriors and it will likely be full for a matchup such as this one.

Location

If the match does take place at Mount Smart, it will fittingly be held in the New Zealand capital city of Auckland.

The ground itself is located in the Penrose suburb of the city, which is around 9 kilometres to the southeast of the city centre of Auckland and close to the Mangere Inlet, an arm of the Manukau Harbour.

About

The bulk of both squads, including the whole of the Australian Kangaroos are based in the NRL competition, so all of the players know each other incredibly well and many will be teammates at club level.

All of those friendships and bonds go out of the window as soon as the players get into their camps and all of that knowledge of each other is used to try and find a way to beat the other.

That, when coupled with the incredible talent spread across both squads, always makes these matches tight affairs and incredible watches for those from New Zealand, Australia and neutrals alike.
