Wallabies trial start time: When does Australia play the Super Rugby selection team at Leichhardt Oval?

The best of Australia’s rugby crop will be on display at Leichhardt Oval on Friday, August 3 as the Wallabies take on a Super Rugby selection team in a warm-up for the Rugby Championship. Kick-off is scheduled for 6:45pm (AEST).

The reasoning behind this match stems from the five-week gap between the end of Super Rugby’s regular season and the beginning of the Rugby Championship.

The Wallabies will need to be switched on from the get-go, with the Bledisloe Cup also on the line across their first two games as they take on the All Blacks both home and away to kick-start their campaign.

While the Australian team will be without their big-name Waratahs for the match, as they are returning from a semi-final against the Lions in Johannesburg, the rest of the Wallabies team will be using this as a tune-up for the Tests.

The Super Rugby squad have been picked out of the Brumbies, Reds, Rebels and the Western Force, who have been participating in the World Series Rugby competition.
