The 2015 ANZAC Test is an upcoming rugby league game to be played between Australia and New Zealand at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane. It will be the 16th ANZAC Test played between the two nations since the first was played under the Super League banner in 1997. Both sides were announced on 26 April.[1][2] The game was originally scheduled to take place on 1 May, along with a Women's rugby league Test between the Australian Jillaroos and New Zealand Kiwi Ferns as a curtain-raiser for the main game, but the Women's game was cancelled and the main Test postponed due to bad weather.[3] The Test will now be played on 3 May.
