Yeah, agree. That's why I'd rather a selection of NZ players who are playing in the Aussie Super teams rather than those who would otherwise be in the running for ABs spots who are playing elsewhere. Let NZ look after them, but we could give those who are, or who will soon be, eligible for the Wallabies a chance to show what they've got against high quality opposition.

it’s in the July test window so he could fit in!

It's not a real test so he wouldnt get released.
This will be up to NZ A & , AUS A players (barring those in brumbies as it is only 3 days after their game), and whatever big names we can get approval as a favour by the japanese clubs in their offseason.

Brisbane and Perth are set to battle it out for the last remaining British and Irish Lions Test on the 2025 tour of Australia – although it is possible both cities could emerge as winners.

Actually Lions tests are considered full test caps, they never use to be but the status was changed by IRB at some stage to reward caps.

Yeah, the Tests are tests. So the game against Argentina would be full releases.
But the combined Aus/NZ side is an invitational side, not a capped one: I can't imagine that it will be open season here, rather at the discretion of the club sides.

The game is on the 12/7 & doesn't clash with any club competition

Andrew Slack (58)
Yeah, but to my understanding, it would be much the same as Foley not getting to play for the Barbarians when he was released for Aus A. One is a protected fixture, one is a negotiation you have with your club based on the potential for injury etc.

Should’ve specified - this is general public release. Unsure if this March 18 date is actually old news…

Tickets or allocation of tickets?

Let’s hope the corporate packages this year don’t come with another cheap scarf.

I was just looking at this, I think the 18/3 is just when tickets go on sale to general public for the tour games (not tests). Most people on here would have already jumped the queue through other sources.
I don’t think tickets for the test matches go on sale after the ballots which is not until early 2025.
You can get tickets now through some packages but pretty expensive
my query is that if I currently have 7 gold super rugby memberships for 2024 and assuming I re-sign for 2025 I believe that gives me 14 ballot entries.
But is the maximum possible tickets I can be offered still only 2 tickets or could I be drawn in the ballot multiple times and get more than 2 tickets?
The other issue I guess is if you definitely want to go to the Brisbane test then there is no guarantee that is the game you will be offered in the ballot?
