By Shamseer Jaleel

New Zealand’s Under-85 kgs rugby side will return to Sri Lanka in April having made their first tour of the island last year.

They will feature in two matches against Sri Lanka. The first game will be on April 25 in Colombo while the second encounter will take place on May 3 in Kandy.

With strong anticipation building among players, fans and administrators, the 2026 tour is expected to deliver high-quality rugby while further strengthening the sporting bond between New Zealand and Sri Lanka.
