England V New Zealand - Rugby League at the Olympic Stadium

On 7 November 2015, England's Rugby League team will take on New Zealand at the Olympic Stadium in one of the most anticipated matches in the international Rugby League calendar.

England’s Rugby League players will have the chance to relive the success of London 2012 stars Jess Ennis-Hill, Mo Farah and Greg Rutherford at the Olympic Stadium, whilst taking on the world’s top team and seeking revenge over the 2013 World Cup heartbreak inflicted by the Kiwis.

England coach, Steve McNamara, said: “Taking on New Zealand in London provides us with the perfect opportunity to test ourselves against the top-ranked nation in the world. It is the first time that Rugby League has been played in the home of the 2012 Olympic Games, in London, which is a transformational move for our sport.

“The series is first time that England’s international team has played on home soil since the 2013 World Cup. This event is an opportunity for families to enjoy world-class Rugby League and recapture the atmosphere of some of Britain’s biggest events, including the 2013 Rugby League World Cup, London 2012 and the 2015 Rugby Union World Cup.”

The three-game series against New Zealand starts at the KC Stadium, Hull on Sunday November 1 (5.00pm) moving on to The Stadium at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London on Saturday November 7 (2.30pm). The series concludes at the DW Stadium, Wigan on Saturday November 14 (1.00pm).
