‘Not viable’: Kiwis kill RA plan to stage lucrative Bledisloe Cup on Anzac Day

And it appeared to have good traction when NZR CEO Mark Robinson said in September that they were “really open to it” and had made good progress in early talks with RA.
“You want to be able to lock it in and make it a real tradition,” Robinson said. “It’s a massive day in both countries, isn’t it, for all the reasons we know about historically, and all the service and sacrifice that’s gone into that day. So the concept, for fans, would be something that resonates strongly.”
Robinson added NZR would need to work with stakeholders to find solutions to potential problems, however. And contacted for an update last week, Robinson revealed New Zealand Rugby had weighed up the pros and cons and decided they would not be backing an Anzac Day Bledisloe Test.
“We certainly committed to exploring the concept and were open-minded to it, but had a lot of work to do,” Robinson said.
