Wallabies to play All Blacks in Wellington in Bledisloe II

The Wallabies will take on the All Blacks in Wellington in August, with the second match of the Bledisloe series locked in after New Zealand announced its home Test schedule for 2020.


While the All Blacks will start and end their season at Eden Park - taking on Wales on July 4, before ending their domestic Test program there against South Africa on September 5 - Australia will escape its hoodoo ground, with their Rugby Championship clash pencilled in for the newly named Sky Stadium in Wellington.

Rugby Australia announced last week the Bledisloe opener would be held in Melbourne on August 8, with today's announcement confirming Bledisloe II will be a week later in Wellington.

The match will be a homecoming of sorts for Wallabies coach Dave Rennie, a former Wellingtonian, who will just have taken the reins in Australia.
