RUGBY league breaks new ground tomorrow when England takes on New Zealand in the unlikely surroundings of Denver, Colorado.


Wayne Bennett’s men and the Kiwis fought hard to get the game on in the face of fierce opposition from the NRL and some of its clubs.

Altitude, travel and insurance were just some of the things thrown at the Rugby Football League and New Zealand Rugby League.


But it is game on as rugby league’s bid to crack America starts in the build-up to the 2025 World Cup, which will be played across North America.



However, what time is it on? Where can you watch it? Who will you be watching? Here’s SunSport’s guide to the game.


 


WHY DENVER?

Denver Broncos' Mile High Stadium hosts England v New Zealand

THE RUGBY Football League and New Zealand Rugby League signed a three-year deal worth in the region of £280,000-a-year to play Test matches in North America.



Mile High Stadium, home of NFL’s Denver Broncos, sees the first of those games, which kicks off at 9.10pm UK time.


It is an attempt to gain a following ahead of the 2025 World Cup and north of the border in Canada, Toronto Wolfpack is making a bid to reach Super League next season.


 


WHERE CAN I WATCH IT?


 


THE GAME will be shown on BBC 2 with coverage starting at 9pm. It is also being broadcast across the States on CBS Sports Network. Fox Sports in Australia is showing it.


 


WILL THE GAME BE STREAMED ANYWHERE?


 


Foxtel customers in Australia can stream it through its app. There will be live commentary on BBC Radio Five Live as well as live text commentary on the BBC Sport website

I can go on until the moment that I select my result set like in the image below: exporting data set But once I go further in the process, in the last step I get: no query Note that in "source" it was suppose to show the query that originated the result set, but instead it says just "select.
