The Wallabies will look to launch into The Rugby Championship for 2019 with a bang as they get set to square off with South Africa on the road.

The match is scheduled for kick-off at 1:05am (AEST) on Sunday, July 21 with it to be held at the Ellis Park Stadium in Johannesburg.

While the Rugby World Cup is the primary focus for all nations this year, The reduced Rugby Championship provides a good opportunity for high level warm-ups in a still very important competition for the four biggest rugby nations in the Southern Hemisphere.
