Wallabies Confirm October Test Against Japan in Tokyo

The Wallabies will face Japan in a test match on October 25, 2025, at Tokyo's National Stadium, marking their first encounter since 2021 and their first meeting in Japan's capital. This match has significant context as it follows Eddie Jones's resignation from the Wallabies and his subsequent appointment as Japan's head coach. Rugby Australia Chief Executive Phil Waugh expressed enthusiasm for the match, highlighting the strong relationship between the two rugby unions and the opportunity to prepare for the Autumn Internationals. The Wallabies, who have a perfect record against Japan, will begin their international season against Fiji on July 6, with additional matches scheduled against the British and Irish Lions and in the Rugby Championship. Jones, who has faced scrutiny after a challenging previous year with Japan, is looking to improve his team's performance ahead of the 2027 World Cup hosted by Australia. Both teams anticipate a passionate crowd, with ticket sales already underway for the event.
