Interim RFL CEO Ralph Rimmer says they’re hoping to make an announcement on a historic International clash between England and New Zealand in Denver by the end of this month.
Officials are hoping to schedule the match in June ahead of the 2025 World Cup to be played in North America.
“We’re hoping to have an announcement by the end of the month, that’s what we’re aiming for,” RImmer said.

“There’s a bit of public relations to be resolved but that’s something we’d like to get sorted within the next week or so.
“There’s some PR to be sorted, some hearts and minds to be won to hopefully get us to a good place.”
Those hearts and minds seem to be NRL clubs who despise letting their players go for international duty.
