New Zealand vs England rugby union - where and when

The New Zealand vs England rugby league international takes place this Saturday, June 23 at 9.10pm BST. That's 4.10pm ET, 1.10pm PT and 2.10pm local time. That's 8.10am Sunday morning in Wellington.

It's been a particularly long journey over for the Kiwis, with the Sports Authority Field at Mile High, Denver, Colorado hosting this one.

The England football team's second match at the FIFA World Cup may be stealing most of the limelight this weekend, but the country's rugby league outfit has an important contest of its own, taking on New Zealand in the United States.

England coach Wayne Bennett is using the international to blood two debutants, with Jake Connor and Tommy Makinson set to start in Denver. The Kiwis have a significant debutant of their own, with Michael Maguire managing his first game as coach of the side.
