Australia Faces Fiji in Newcastle Rugby Test

The Australian national rugby team, the Wallabies, will face Fiji in a test match at McDonald Jones Stadium in Newcastle, marking their only game before the British & Irish Lions tour. This match carries added significance as memories of Fiji's historic 22-15 victory over Australia at the 2023 Rugby World Cup remain fresh. Former captain David Porecki returns to the lineup after 643 days, aiming to strengthen the team ahead of three upcoming Lions matches. The Wallabies' 2025 schedule includes three tests against the British & Irish Lions in July and August, followed by a Rugby Championship match against South Africa in mid-August. These fixtures are pivotal for the Wallabies to regain form and momentum after recent setbacks. Fans can anticipate competitive rugby as Australia seeks to improve its international standing.
