Wallabies face off against Japan in Internationals on Fri 14th August 2026 at Queensland Country Bank Stadium. Kick-off in the UK is scheduled for 06:00. In South Africa it’s at 07:00 SAST, 17:00 NZST in New Zealand, 15:00 AEST in Australia and 22:00 EST in the US.
Wallabies won the last encounter but Japan are in the best form of their last 5 games.
Heading into the fixture the two sides are separated by just 5 places in the rankings with Wallabies in position 7 and Japan in position 12, underlining just how tight this match could be.
The official squads for Wallabies vs Japan will become available around 24- 48 hours before kick-off. Teams can still make changes up to an hour before the match however.
