WELLINGTON — The emergence of the United States as a lucrative rugby market continued on Wednesday with the announcement seven-times Super Rugby champions Canterbury Crusaders will play English powerhouse Saracens in the Superdome in New Orleans.
News of the August exhibition match follows on from the announcement that Australia's Wallabies would play the United States at Chicago's Soldier Field en route to the World Cup later this year.
The All Blacks also played the Eagles in Chicago last year.
The 'Hemispheres Cup' in New Orleans will be played on Aug. 1, though it is unlikely any international players will be involved just six weeks out from the World Cup.
