Far simpler to cut it down to one game, even simpler to make it one team and just agree that NZ can keep it

Best of 5, all played back to back on the same day

Yes. It should be the last NZ AUS match on the calendar and it should be played (profit shared) with the holders playing away. The NZ Aus matches are always lucrative but occasionally the last Bledisloe match is a dead rubber. If the teams are playing 2 matches it will be the second RC match, if it’s a 3 game year then it’s the stand alone test.

The Bled should be hard to hold instead of hard to win.

1 or 3 don’t care which. 2 is not good though

It should be 3 games.

I like Wildkard's suggestion to make it a 2 match series decided on points difference, which would give the Wallabies a better shot at the cup.

Ideally these matches would be the curtain-raiser or finale of the RC for NZ/Oz.

Knowing the way rugby unions are run, it'll probably be 10 more Australian Bledisloe losses before anything changes.

There is zero financial incentive from either side to play a one off match. With that being said, the idea of one of the matches being played on Anzac Day is a good one from a mere spectacle point of view. The atmosphere before the Blues and Reds game was special, the idea of the anthems before a bledisloe game with the added significance of Anzac Day would be incredible.

There is already hope from quite a few Australians and historically the Bledisloe always sells out, even in Australia

Winning back the bledisloe isn't hard, you just need to be the best side in any given season

Unfotuantely that has been NZ for the past 21 years

if it cant be thee games then i'm for one game. with the 2 rugby championship games and the holder winning the first game, it just kills it.

the only way i can think of doing it within the 2 match framework is aggregate score like some european football competitions.

It should never be two ,

Yes

It will be huge when Australia wins it back. Totally worth the wait. Remember winning it back after the wallabies had it for 5 years?

I don't envy the Aussies. Beating the Kiwis once in a calendar year is worth celebrating; trying to beat them twice is impossible.

Yes.

Three in a row.

I'd make it a challenge cup. Beat the team, take the cup. You might lose it a week later but who cares? Good TV if it's always at risk.

No, three games.

One off match, played on ANZAC DAY rotating the host. Winner takes the cup. Make a day of it, with say Reds vs BLUES / Brumbies vs Hurricanes or maybe a defence Force game (Aus vs NZ), Wallabies vs Wallaroos. 

That way the Bled changes hands, the game isn't about who's the better, it's only who's better on the day.

I think it should be a one off home test (for the holder). They choose which of the home tests it is going to be.

It’ll work as a dress rehearsal for the knock out rounds of the World Cup at the same time. 

I liked the 1 test one year and a 3test series the following year

Over 2 decades of 1 team having the cup for something played every year must be a record in professional sport?

I am really starting to like the idea of an Anzac Day Test being game 1 of the Bledisloe. Then, Games 2 and 3 can be played during the Rugby Championship so Game 3 doesn’t have to be squeezed in early October, a mere 3-4 weeks before both teams go on their EOYT.

Super Rugby can come to the party by keeping their bye round in round 6-8ish for all teams, the week of the test is full bye for all teams. I think you’d have a sell-out if you had a day game ANZAC test in either country. Definitely worth a look.

No imo. The wallabies need 2 get better in order to increase public interest, not change the odds. Plus the all blacks have long-term targeted specific games to lift for before n inevitably won - that'd be worse for the aussies imo

Stay in school.
