ENGLAND regular Chris Hill welcomed the decision to take a Test match to Colorado today and dismissed any fears associated with playing at high altitude.
Some NRL clubs have raised concerns over the distance involved for a mid-season international between England and New Zealand and have sought assurances about staging the game at the Mile High Stadium in Denver.
The match on June 23 is seen as an important stepping stone towards the 2025 World Cup which will be held in North America and Hill is full of praise for the organisers’ initiative.
