Boks to tackle Wallabies in 100th Test

Rugby Australia has confirmed its 2027 international calendar, announcing that the Springboks will host Australia twice next year. The second meeting between the two nations will mark the historic 100th Test match in a rivalry dating back to 1933. Venues and dates for both fixtures have yet to be officially confirmed.

The schedule leads into Australia hosting the 2027 Rugby World Cup, where the Wallabies open against Hong Kong in October. Meanwhile, Rassie Erasmus' Springboks will prepare for their title defense with a warm-up against Fiji in Gosford before opening the tournament against Italy in Adelaide.
