The Wallabies will enter their first match of the June International window against Fiji as heavy favourites, despite naming nine potential debutants in their squad. The match will be played at AAMI Park in Melbourne and is scheduled to kick-off at 3pm (AEST) on Saturday, June 10.

On the surface, this looks like it could be a dour international window for the Wallabies. None of the big guns from the Northern Hemisphere have arrived down under, and instead, Scotland and Italy will follow this match against Fiji.

The ARU have taken the step of scheduling the matches on a Saturday afternoon, all with a 3pm (AEST) kick-off, avoiding the usual evening slot which will be brought out again later in the year for the Bledisloe Cup and Rugby Championship.
