Japan face off against Wallabies in Internationals on Fri 7th August 2026 at Hanazono Rugby Stadium. Kick-off in the UK is scheduled for 01:00. In South Africa it’s at 02:00 SAST, 12:00 NZST in New Zealand, 10:00 AEST in Australia and 17:00 EST in the US.
Wallabies won the last encounter but both teams are in the same form for their last 5 games.
Heading into the fixture the two sides are separated by just 3 places in the rankings with Wallabies in position 8 and Japan in position 11, underlining just how tight this match could be.
The official squads for Japan vs Wallabies will become available around 24- 48 hours before kick-off. Teams can still make changes up to an hour before the match however.
