Joe Schmidt will get his reign as Wallabies coach underway against Wales in Sydney, their 2024 home schedule showed Friday, with Australia also hosting world champions South Africa twice this year.
Jones won just two from nine Tests, with Schmidt looking to turn the corner against Warren Gatland’s Wales at Allianz Stadium in Sydney on 6 July before they meet again a week later in Melbourne.Back-to-back World Cup champions South Africa will face the Wallabies twice in Australia as part of the Rugby Championship — at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane on 10 August and a week later at Perth Stadium.
“It’s particularly pleasing to know we are going to host Test matches in the four largest cities in Australia as we continue to invest in making the game more accessible to more Australians,” said Rugby Australia chief Phil Waugh.
