    Rugby League Test coming to Perth

    An historic trans-Tasman rugby league Test will be played in Perth next year.

    Australia and New Zealand, the top two teams in the world, will play the first Test staged in Perth at nib Stadium in October with the National Rugby League and the State Government set to finalise the deal.

    Both teams will use the game in their build-up to the Rugby League Four Nations tournament in England and Scotland in October and November.

    Playing the Test at the 20,500 capacity nib Stadium is a coup for the WANRL which is pushing for their West Coast Pirates franchise to be in an expanded national competition.

    A decision on expansion in 2018 is expected early next year.

    The match will also be a bonus for local fans with the possibility of three NRL games also being played in Perth next year.

    South Sydney Rabbitohs have agreed to bring a match west for the eighth consecutive season after beating New Zealand Warriors 36-4 in front of a record 20,272 nib crowd in June.

    It is understood at least two other clubs, including Manly, are interested in matches here.

    The Sea Eagles brought a game to Perth three years ago when they beat the Warriors at Patersons Stadium.

    The NRL have already confirmed plans to schedule rugby league World Cup games in Perth in 2017.

    The Test was only confirmed this morning, the NRL had the announcement at NiB. Apparently Perth was in the running to host the mid year Test but that idea was shot down by the broadcaster.

    Can't wait for it!

    Just goes to show what everyone thinks of Spewbie. They will be fighting in the streets to get tickets and there will probably be as many without tickets as get them. Well done to NIB!
