New Zealand Rugby is rejecting reports that the All Blacks and British and Irish Lions could play a test across the ditch as part of their 2029 series here.

The Australian newspaper reports the 100-thousand capacity Melbourne Cricket Ground is being floated as a possible venue to host a test match during the series, which could be three or four tests.

But NZR boss Steve Lancaster says that's not the case.

"That's a good rumour, but it's not the one...I can tell you that that is not under consideration."
