The Wallaroos have confirmed they will partner with the Wallabies for a first doubleheader in two years this October in Sydney.

Jilly Collins, General Manager of Women’s High Performance, said: “We are incredibly excited to bring the Wallaroos back to Accor Stadium for the first time in eight years.

“Featuring alongside the Wallabies for a double header provides a premier stage for our players and a brilliant spectacle for Australian rugby fans.

“This home series holds extra weight as it follows our clash with Scotland in Edinburgh just a few weeks prior. Facing them twice on home soil – culminating in a standalone Test in Canberra – is a significant milestone for the WXV Global series.

“We are excited to see the Wallaroos’ continued growth as they conclude the international season in front of a home crowd.”
