The union, Dunedin Venues Management Ltd and the Dunedin City Council had been talking to NZR and had been working to put themselves in the best position to host a test. The last test to be played at Forsyth Barr Stadium was in 2018, when the All Blacks beat France 49-14 and Damian McKenzie scored 24 points. There was no test in 2019 as it was a World Cup year and it was a limited home test programme. Scotland was scheduled to play in Dunedin last year, for the first time in 20 years, but it was canned because of Covid-19.
