Rugby Australia has approached New Zealand Rugby about fielding an ANZAC XV against the British and Irish Lions in 2025.

Foxsports.com.au confirms that Rugby Australia has floated the idea with their trans-Tasman neighbours, which would see the two nations field a combined team for the first time since they lost 19-15 at Ballymore in 1989.

Rugby Australia Chairman Hamish McLennan told the Daily Mail that New Zealand Rugby was considering the idea, with the prospect of 100,000 fans packing the Melbourne Cricket Ground for the spectacle.
