The Wallabies will play Eddie Jones's England side in the first SCG Test match since 1986, while the Wallaroos have locked in two Tests next month ahead of the Women's Rugby World Cup.
Australia Tests
Wallabies v England:
July 2 - Perth Stadium, Perth
July 9 - Lang Park, Brisbane
July 16 - Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney
Wallaroos fixtures:
v Fijiana, May 6 - Lang Park, Brisbane
v Japan, May 10 - Bond University, Gold Coast
Details of the Wallabies three-Test series against the 2019 World Cup finalists were confirmed on Tuesday, with Perth, Brisbane and Sydney to host games on consecutive Saturdays in July.
The SCG Test, on July 16, comes after last year's clash against France was shifted from the venue due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
They will also meet in Perth for the first time in 10 years, while England were the last nation to beat Australia at their Lang Park stronghold in 2016.
"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.

RAISE THOSE GLASSES! Range Brewing announce the inaugural Juicy Beer Festival
Juicy Beer Festival is a brand new concept, created by beer brewers for beer lovers. Shaping up to be one of the largest celebrations of independent brewers in Australia, Gerard Martin and Matt McIver at Range Brewing are the masterminds behind this all-inclusive beer tasting extravaganza.
The first-ever beer festival hosted at The Fortitude Music Hall, Juicy Beer Festival’s two, four-hour sessions will feature a highly curated roster of independent brewers serving up over 40 specialty brews, while Sampology, Winston Surfshirt and the who’s who of local DJs step behind the decks.
One ticket. One glass. Countless brews. It’s the beauty of Juicy Beer Festival’s all-inclusive design. Just collect the exclusive Juicy tasting glass and get sipping. With no payments to process, cash to carry or mates to shout, the most difficult part of the day will be deciding which brew to try next.
The hop heroes over at Range Brewing have rolled out the red carpet for the best independent brewers from Australia and New Zealand. As well as shining a spotlight on countless hyper-local brewers, plenty of faves will be loading up their kegs and making the trip up North including New South Wales’ Wildflower and Victoria’s Banks Brewery. Not just a tasting tour of Australia’s best ales, Juicy Beer Festival also welcomes New Zealand pals including Wellington wonders, Garage Project.
All this beer has to wash something down…which is why Juicy Beer Festival has lined up an equally impressive roster of culinary delights. Whether it’s the Oyster & Stout bar tucked away at The Outpost upstairs or one of the exclusive pop-up stalls from some of Brisbane’s favourite restaurants, there’s a bite to please any palette.
A treat for the earbuds as much as the tastebuds, Juicy Festival welcomes some of the hottest Aussie acts to set the sonic vibe. Spinning their unique, genre-blending sound, R&B-Soul Icons, Winston Surfshirt, will get the party started as they close out Juicy’s evening session. Hometown heavyweight, Sampology, will also be making the crowd ‘Smile’, as he serves up sizzling sets for crowds at both the afternoon and evening sessions.
Range Brewing’s Matt McIver is stoked to be able to shine a spotlight on the incredible Australian and New Zealand independent brewers. "We can’t wait to bring all our fellow independent brewers together! For a lot of us, it’s been a while between drinks – so we are counting down the days until we can finally get together and share some quality brews."
Gerard Martin shares a similar excitement, explaining, "Matt and I experienced the all-inclusive beer festival model while we were travelling overseas and we knew we had to bring the concept home to Brissie. To also be the first Beer Festival held at the beautiful Fortitude Music Hall? It’s a beer lover’s dream.’

When the country comes to the city:
Ekka HISTORY:
Bowen Park was chosen in January 1876 as the site for the first-ever Royal Queensland Show. The park covered 6.8 hectares bordered by Bowen Bridge Road, Gregory Terrace, and a creek that ran through the middle of what is now the Main Arena.
The Intercolonial Exhibition of 1876 was held from 22 to 26 August. A public holiday was declared and on opening day 17,000 people attended - a colossal success given that the total population of Brisbane at the time was only 22,000.
Men attended in their suits and ladies in their finest garments. Food was served on long tables and the first show bag - a bag of coal - was free for all visitors.
The first 'Royal' Show was held in 1921, when the Association was granted the prefix under warrant from His Majesty King George V.
Since then, the shortened name 'Ekka' has replaced 'Exhibition' in the Queensland vernacular, indicating locals' affection for the show.
Ekka has since been held every year with only three exceptions - in 1919 due to the Spanish Flu epidemic, in 1942 when the grounds were used as a World War II staging depot and in 2020 due the the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

PIXIES, one of the most influential alternative rock bands of all time, have unfinished business in Australia and New Zealand and will be returning in 2022 for their mammoth – Come On Pilgrim… It’s Surfer Rosa tour. Pixies’ debut releases – the electrifying 1987 EP Come On Pilgrim and 1988’s debut full-length album, Surfer Rosa – brought rise to a new genre and defined contemporary music for a generation.
The tour will bear witness to both seminal albums being performed in full – plus new and old tracks spanning their extensive catalogue. Surfer Rosa is a record made up of rage, religion, gore, incest and superheroes named Tony – a debut album so good that it’s since been seen as a masterpiece. Produced by Steve Albini, it includes early Pixies classics such as "Bone Machine," "Gigantic," "Vamos" and "Where Is My Mind?". Come On Pilgrim contained eight songs from the band’s first-ever studio session, produced by Gary Smith and recorded at his Fort Apache Studio near Boston.
Almost two years to the day, Pixies were forced to leave Australia when the global pandemic took hold. With only one show in Auckland and one in Melbourne completed, the band were determined to get the show back on the road and will return to Australian and New Zealand shores this December.
On announcing the new shows the band said:
"We are thrilled to be able to announce our return to Australia and New Zealand in December 2022, following the untimely postponement of some of these shows back in 2020. We will be returning to play two different sets across the tour:
1. Performing Come on Pilgrim and Surfer Rosa in their entirety – in Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth, Wellington and Christchurch.
2. A brand new set featuring songs from across our catalogue, including some oldies and some brand new tracks – in Melbourne and Auckland.
La la love you!"
