Our Touch Blacks teams were set to head to Newcastle, Australia in April 2020 for a tensely, hard-fought and eagerly awaited test series against the Australian Emus at the 2020 Open Tasman-Tasman series.

Unfortunately with the Government enforcement of a Level 4 lockdown, the 2020 Open-Trans Tasman was cancelled. The Trans-Tasman was pushed back to April 2021 in Christchurch New Zealand, but due to Goverment travel restrictions the tour will again be postponed to early 2023.
