SYDNEY - The Wallabies will play England, Italy, Ireland and France in a mouth-watering finish to their end-of-year northern hemisphere tour, Rugby Australia said Wednesday.
"Last year's Autumn Nations Series captured the imagination of Australian fans on account of the Wallabies' strong performances and we are looking forward to another competitive northern hemisphere tour in 2025," chief executive Phil Waugh said in a statement.
The Wallabies will meet England at Twickenham on 1 November - nearly a year after Australia's thrilling win at the same venue.
On 8 November, they face Italy for the first time in three years - hoping to erase memories of Italy's stunning 28-27 win over Australia in 2022.
The Wallabies then travel to Dublin to face Ireland on 15 November, a chance for Australia to avenge their 22-19 loss in November to the world number two side.
The finale will be Australia-France on 22 November.
The last time they played, Australia suffered a 41-17 drubbing in a 2023 Rugby World Cup warm-up in Paris.
Last month, the Wallabies announced they would start their 2025 end-of-year tour with an October Test match against Japan's Eddie Jones-coached Brave Blossoms in Tokyo.
