Australia’s Wallabies will host England in the first Test of a three-match series at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane at 8pm AEST on Saturday June 11.
The remainder of the series will take place across the following two weeks with Tests to be played at AAMI Park in Melbourne and Allianz Stadium in Sydney, both in the same time slot.
The match will be televised both on free-to-air via Channel Ten and TenHD, and on Foxtel via Fox Sports 2 and Fox Sports 2HD.
Fox Sports’ coverage will begin at 7:20pm AEST, 40 minutes before the game begins, while Ten’s coverage will begin slightly later, at 7:30pm AEST.
Both broadcasts are scheduled to conclude at 10pm AEST after the game finishes.
The series sees the Wallabies pitted against a friend-turned-foe in Eddie Jones, a former coach of the team who was recruited to coach the English side after their disastrous run at the 2015 World Cup.
Jones has been a successful coach so far in his short tenure, guiding England to a grand slam win earlier in the year in the Six Nations tournament.
However, coming up against the Wallabies, who were runners up at last year’s world cup, will be a different kind of challenge, especially in the southern hemisphere.
The Wallabies are the favourites to win, priced at $1.64 with betting companies, while England are out to $2.30.
The Wallabies have named a team that features four debutants, Rory Arnold, Sam Kerevi and Dane Haylett-Perry in the starters, and Nick Frisby among the replacements.
