Warriors match in Dunedin confirmed

The New Zealand Warriors will play at Forsyth Barr Stadium next year.

Today's NRL draw announcement confirmed reports earlier in the week that the Canterbury Bulldogs would bring their home game against the Warriors to Dunedin, after Sydney's ANZ Stadium was booked out by Justin Bieber and Adele.

The game will be played on Friday, March 17 at 8pm and falls on a weekend that the Highlanders are playing away from home.

Forsyth Barr Stadium had last hosted the Warriors in a pre-season match against the Brisbane Broncos in 2014. Later that year the Kiwis took on England at the ground, however, this would be the first full-NRL match the stadium would host.

While pricing details were not yet available, it was hoped the match would attract a large crowd.
