2012 Trans Tasman on the Horizon

Australia and New Zealand's elite Touch Football players, coaches and referees will converge on Mudgee, New South Wales, in April this year when the 2012 Trans Tasman Test Series (TTTS) returns to Australia with the world's top two Touch Football countries set to continue their strong rivalry.

The Australian Men's, Women's and Mixed Open sides will take to the field against New Zealand at the Glen Willow Regional Sporting Complex, Mudgee, in a three day contest from Thursday, 26 April 2012 until Saturday, 28 April.

The three game series will take place on Thursday night, Friday night and Saturday afternoon, with times to be confirmed closer to the event.

Players will also march in the ANZAC Day parade in Mudgee on Wednesday, 25 April prior to the event. It is symbolic that they will meet on the ANZAC weekend, an occasion very special to both proud nations.

Australia is still on a high from its 2011 World Cup performance, winning all three Open titles against the Kiwis and is hopeful of defending its Trans Tasman title, while New Zealand is determined to reverse the result and cause an upset to the Australian teams in their own backyard.
