Rugby-Australia to host England at SCG in final match of July tour

SYDNEY (Reuters) - England will play tests against Australia at Perth Stadium, Brisbane's Lang Park and the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) on their July tour this year, Rugby Australia announced on Tuesday.

The tour itinerary brings test rugby back to Sydney for the first time since the start of the COVID pandemic and to the SCG for the first time since 1986.

England swept the Wallabies 3-0 on their last tour of Australia in 2016 and coach Eddie Jones will be determined to once again embarrass the nation of his birth.

"We talk a lot about wanting to challenge ourselves against the best teams in the world and three test matches in a row against England is the perfect opportunity to do that," Wallabies coach Dave Rennie said in a statement.

"It's always special when Australia and England meet in the sporting arena and we're looking forward to seeing plenty of gold jerseys in the stands during July."
