Well it's going to happen for the next 2 years with Anzac Day being on Friday and Saturday. Hopefully they try and get a few Trans Tasman games in to compete with the other codes.
I'd really like a streaming service for rugby games. I'm surprised Fox haven't looked into this already as they could potentially make some money for only a little more work. I guess their main goal is to grow their viewership so it's probably of no interest.

If an Australian team wanted to host an annual ANZAC Day match there would be no issues with scheduling a 6 day turnaround when ANZAC Day is on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday.
When it is on a Thursday, Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday you'd just ensure that the away team either has a bye before or afterwards so they don't have to play a match within 6 days of another match.
As a trade off for the home team getting to host an annual ANZAC Day blockbuster, you'd make them potentially have to deal with a short turnaround between two of their matches. If you could manage it, you'd just make it a week with three teams on the bye so they have a bye at the same time as their opposition (either before or after the match).
It really shouldn't be a hard thing to work into the draw.
