O’Neill non-committal about IRB’s one-off match proposal

AUSTRALIAN Rugby Union boss John O’Neill has lent cautious support to a proposed one-off match between the Tri-Nations and Six Nations champions.

The International Rugby Board will discuss the proposal at a meeting of the world’s leading rugby nations in Hong Kong on Sunday.

Hong Kong, which is already slated to host a Test between Australia and New Zealand, is the favoured venue should the champions of both hemispheres meet.
