Could the Ireland men’s Six Nations match be moved from the Aviva Stadium to the United States?
The Hurricane Star had started the last six Tests for New Zealand, but instead Richie Moonga is drafted in a ten. for his first Test appearance since the 2023 World Cup final, which they lost to South Africa. Peter Lackeye shifts from blindside flanker to take Ardi Savia's spot at number eight, with the latter scoring two tries before getting injured last week. Anton Leonard Brown and Ethan Blackadder replaced the injured Quinn Topaya and Luke Jacobson, respectively. That allows Tupuvay to switch from lock to blindside while Patrick Tuopolato Comes into the second row alongside Sam Darry. There is a completely new front row as Cody Taylor returns to captain the side. He's alongside Fletcher Newell and Ethan DeGroot, and Josh Morby comes in for Leroy Carter on the wing.
The Springboks made just two changes to their team from last week's win in Soccer City. Damian Willemsa replaces Cheslin Colby at full back while it's a straight swap at Scrum Half. With Mornay Vandenberg preferred to Cobus Reinach. Speaking of games heading to the US, the Telegraph are reporting that an Ireland Six Nations game could be heading stateside in the near future. So in an interview with the paper, World Rugby CEO Alan Gilpin argued that this weekend's game between the Springboks and the All Blacks in Baltimore is like a Six Nations game in terms of the matchday economics. The commercial value Of Saturday's game at the home of the NFL side, Baltimore Ravens, is reportedly worth just shy of six million euro.
This isn't a live discussion of an Ireland versus Italy game, Gilpin said, but why we use that as an example is because you've got two fantastic fan bases in the US of Irish and Italian fans. If you could take a Six Nations game to the right place, to a Boston or to a New York, where there's lots of those fan bases, you can definitely drop. drive the economics. Now you're gonna have Irish fans and Italian fans in those respective home countries saying, Hang on a minute, you know, we wanna see our country play. The counter argument to that, Gilpin adds
What does World Rugby CEO Alan Gilpin say about the commercial value of a US‑based Six Nations‑style game?
Is that it's still Irish and Italian fans getting the chance to watch their team, so they're not just the ones who live in Ireland and Italy on this occasion, but that's a balancing piece we've got to work through. Now, according to the Irish Independent, the IRFU have released a statement through a spokesperson saying there are no current plans or discussions regarding Six Nations matches being played in the United States.
