Kiwis Face Hosts in Four
Nations
Opener
________________________________________
NZ
Kiwis will open their Four Nations title defence against
hosts England at Huddersfield on October 30 (NZ
time).
The tournament schedule, released today by England
Rugby League, has the world #1 side facing Australia as part
of a November 6 doubleheader at Coventry and then Scotland
at Workington on November 12.
The other marquee match-up
– England v Australia – will take place at London’s
Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park on November 14, with the final
set down for Anfield, home of Liverpool FC, a week
later.
Anfield last hosted a rugby league game 19 years
ago, when St Helens moved their Super League fixture against
Castleford to the Premier League ground.
Wigan’s World
Club Challenge game against Penrith Panthers in 1991 also
took place at the Merseyside venue.
“We are delighted
with the venues selected for the 2016 Four Nations, and we
are sure that the tournament will deliver compelling and
memorable action on the field," says Four Nations tournament
director Jon Dutton.
"Anfield is an iconic sporting venue
and I am certain that all teams will be determined to reach
the final to play in front of what will be a very special
atmosphere.”
England captain Sean O’Loughlin says
players live to play at venues like Anfield and the Olympic
Park.
"Walking out in front of 45,000 fans in London last
year [against eh Kiwis] was one of the highlights of 2015
for me. I am sure that playing in front of big home crowds
will push the team on to what will hopefully be a successful
campaign.”
Four Nations Tournament Director, Jon
Dutton, said: “We are delighted with the venues selected
for the 2016 Four Nations and we are sure that the
tournament will deliver compelling and memorable action on
the field. Anfield is an iconic sporting venue and I am
certain that all teams will be determined to reach the final
to play in front of what will be a very special
atmosphere.”
England Head Coach, Wayne Bennett, said:
“I’m excited to begin work with this England team. The
venues selected for our games in the Four Nations tournament
are world class and I hope that the English fans will be out
in force to support us and that we can do them proud on the
field.”
England Captain, Sean O’Loughlin, said:
“Playing at iconic venues such as the Stadium at Queen
Elizabeth Olympic Park and Anfield are one of the reasons we
play the game. Walking out in front of 45,000 fans in London
last year was one of the highlights of 2015 for me and I am
sure that playing in front of big home crowds will push the
team on to what will hopefully be a successful
campaign.”
