A hybrid game of rugby/rugby league that pits the All Blacks against the Kangaroos is about as well thought-out as L&P flavoured chocolate.
It is just like the ill-conceived turducken [chicken wrapped in duck, wrapped in turkey] at Christmas dinner - combining multiple nice things together doesn't necessarily mean the
result will be twice as good. In fact quite often the result is downright awful.
This hybrid game idea is nothing new - it has been talked about before and never got off the ground. But in this day and age where sporting bodies will seemingly do anything to turn a big profit I would guess there might be interest in the concept.
It will be a cheap way to make some easy money but it will do nothing for either game.
Who would win? Well that is the challenge for organisers. If they play something like rugby league with play-the-balls then the Kangaroos will win easily. If there is a break down or a contest for the ball on the ground, the All Blacks will thrash the Kangaroos.
