Marvel Stadium will host the opening Bledisloe Cup Test next year as the battle for trans-Tasman rugby supremacy returns to Melbourne for the first time in 13 years.

Sydney misses out on a Bledisloe Test in 2020 as ANZ Stadium is being redeveloped, with Melbourne and Brisbane getting the first and third matches of the three-match series on August 8 and October 17.

The Wallabies, under new coach Dave Rennie, will be trying to break the All Blacks’ 17-year hold on the famous trophy.
