George Bridge and Sevu Reece celebrate with the Bledisloe Cup following the All Blacks’ win at Eden Park last year. Queensland, Sydney and Perth are set to battle it out for hosting rights to the opening Bledisloe Cup test under dual contingencies being worked up by Rugby Australia. Melbourne was due to host the first test on October 10 at Marvel Stadium, with Suncorp lined up for the second on October 17. The October 10 fixture could go to North Queensland Stadium in Townsville, which was due to host Australia v Fiji last month.
