The NRL has made a big splash in Las Vegas ahead of next year's historic double-header, with stars Aaron Woods and Campbell Graham featuring in an interview during an NFL game.

Even though there were no actual touchdowns in the game, the interview would have been seen by millions of Americans.

The pair, along with Spencer Leniu and Billy Walters, are in America to promote the kick-off in Las Vegas, which will be the first time the NRL has taken games to Sin City.

They joined NRL CEO Andrew Abdo at a match between the Raiders and the Vikings, which ended with the lowest NFL score in 16 seasons.

With hopes of a more entertaining product next March, the NRL aims to bring the excitement of rugby league to Vegas for many years to come, following in the footsteps of the NFL's expansion efforts in Europe.

The concept will be officially launched later this week to boost ticket sales for the double-header at Allegiant Stadium.

Woods highlighted that Americans love the collisions in sport, making Vegas, the entertainment capital, the perfect destination for the NRL.
