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 cycle of events will now continue from 2021 as planned with a combined Open and Masters Trans-Tasman series being held in April 2021 in Christchurch, New Zealand.
