Springboks vs Wallabies: Historic 2027 rematches already set

Translate

Bruce Douglas

Australia have confirmed their 2027 international calendar, which includes two Tests against South Africa.

The Springboks will have a chance to avenge the recent loss in Perth before heading into the Rugby World Cup.

These tests will also mark a historic milestone between two of rugby’s biggest nations.

Australia reveal international calendar for 2027

Rugby.com.au, the official website of Rugby Australia, confirmed the Wallabies’ fixtures for next year.

Australia begin their 2027 Rugby Championship campaign with two games against Argentina at home.

On July 10, the Wallabies host the Pumas in Sydney, followed by a clash in North Queensland on July 17.

The Aussies then play New Zealand twice, with the home game set for July 31.

The Wallabies are also set to face the Springboks twice – the second of these games will mark a 100th Test rugby clash between them.

South Africa and Australia have a rivalry dating back to 1933, and the stakes of this game are also significant.

Timing of Wallabies’ fixtures could be intentional

Coming two days after the victory in Perth, the announcement of the Wallabies’ 2027 fixtures could be psychological.

Online debate continues to centre on the Springboks, who struggled initially to find an answer in the game on Sunday.

The framing of the 2027 World Cup in Australia could also be a significant factor.

If South Africa top their pool and the Wallabies finish second in theirs, they would meet in the first knockout round.

Australia may pursue the Rugby Championship as a chance to stake their claim as world-champion-worthy.

Any more positives against the Springboks could really matter if the two teams meet in the World Cup.

Either way, a lot is riding on the Springboks vs Wallabies Tests next year, so keep a close eye on how these play out.

WILL THE SPRINGBOKS VS WALLABIES CLASHES SHAPE THE WORLD CUP?
