Though it's understood the deal has yet to be formally signed off, Australian officials are confident it will be - given the lack of available alternative opposition for either side on March 5.
I'm a huge fan of these friendlies in Europe. Sure I'd love to see these games be played in Australia but we need to get our best group together. Putting a 50 hour round trip on top of that makes life very difficult for players.
