The Wallabies fixtures are generally spread out into three groups of Tests, the July Tests, Rugby Championship (within which the Bledisloe Cup takes place), and the Spring Tour.
2023 will also see them take part in the Rugby World Cup, with the Wallabies pooled together with Wales, Fiji, Georgia and Portugal. Their first match will be against Georgia on September 10 (AEST).
A shortened three-match Rugby Championship began with the Wallabies obliterated by South Africa in Pretoria 43-12, in the first match under Eddie Jones’ second stint at the helm, before a heartbreaking 34-31 loss to Argentina at Commbank Stadium.
The Bledisloe Cup was again secured by the All Blacks after they won the first of a two-game series 38-7 at the MCG to end The Rugby Championship. They finally had a chance of a breakthrough victory in Game 2 when they led 14-0 after less than ten minutes, but were unable to hold on, losing 23-20 to make it seven consecutive Test losses to New Zealand.
They made it five losses from five under Eddie Jones with a 41-17 loss to France to head into the World Cup still in losing form.
While they finally secured their first win under new management to open the tournament with a 35-15 win over Georgia, a new low was reached with a shock 15-22 loss to Fiji, the Wallabies’ first loss to the island nation in 69 years.
They then sunk even further with a 40-6 hammering at the hands of Wales, that all but ensured a World Cup pool stage exit for the first time in history, before saving face and keeping their tournament mathematically alive with a nervy 34-14 win over Portugal.
All times are in AEST/AEDT. Please note all games will be broadcast on Nine’s streaming service Stan Sport, while games in Australia and Rugby World Cup matches will also be broadcast on Nine’s free to air channels.

The Wallabies began their year with a 2-1 series loss to a visiting England, before starting their Rugby Championship campaign with a win and a loss in Argentina. They then went on to again split a home series 1-1 against South Africa.
Due to scheduling concerns around the AFL finals, a rare Thursday night Bledisloe Cup match was played in Melbourne before the return leg in New Zealand. The All Blacks won 39-37 in a massively controversial finish to ensure the trophy stays in their hands once again. The Wallabies were then soundly beaten at Eden Park – again – to continue their slide.

Following that, the Spring Tour saw the Wallabies battle Scotland, France, Italy, Ireland, and Wales. They started in style with a thrilling 16-15 win over the Scots at Murrayfield, before losing a thriller 30-29 to France and then losing again by a point to Italy and 13-10 to Ireland.
They finished the tour in style, coming from 21 points down to defeat Wales 39-34.

All times are AEST/AEDT (Sydney/Melbourne time)
The Wallabies kicked off their international campaign with a tense 2-1 series win over France, but they were then embarrassed by the All Blacks in a comprehensive 3-0 Bledisloe Cup series sweep.
However, they then surprised the rugby world with back-to-back wins over the Springboks and completed an impressive Rugby Championship with victory over Argentina.

Unfortunately, the Aussie team couldn’t continue their success in the Spring Tour with just one win against Japan and three losses against Scotland, England and Wales.
