Wallabies Prepare for Grand Slam Tour in England

The Wallabies will return to Perth in 2025 to face New Zealand in the Bledisloe Cup at Optus Stadium on October 4, marking their third encounter at the venue. This match serves as a consolation for local rugby fans, as Perth will not host the British and Irish Lions next year, despite the Lions playing an exhibition game against the Force. Meanwhile, Wallabies prop Allan Alaalatoa views the upcoming tours against England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland as crucial preparation for the Lions series in July and August 2024. Alaalatoa emphasizes the importance of set-pieces and aims to solidify his return after injury. The Wallabies are also preparing for their first Grand Slam opportunity since 2016, with a focus on building their game ahead of a challenging schedule. The team's tour will feature four tests in sold-out stadiums, starting with the match against England at Twickenham on November 9.
