Game one will be at
Optus Stadium in Perth on July 2
ahead of a clash in Brisbane the following weekend before culminating at Sydney
on July 16.
The first Test will mark only the second time the
two sides have met in Western Australia after the Wallabies won 27–17 in 2010.
The series then moves to the fortress
Suncorp Stadium where Australia will look to extend a 10-game win streak at the venue,
including two victories over France last year and against World Cup holders
South Africa.
The potential decider will be at the Sydney Cricket
Ground, which hasn’t hosted a rugby Test for 36 years, with Melbourne missing
out.
“We are looking forward to welcoming England and
Eddie back to Australia in July for what will be a highlight on the Australian
sporting calendar in 2022,” said Rugby Australia chief
Andy Marinos.
“As we have a few wrongs to right from our encounter
in November last year, both teams will be looking to build momentum leading
into the 2023 Rugby World Cup and set down some clear markers.
“The rivalry between Australia and
England is one
that runs deep across many sports, and we look to forward to writing another
chapter in its history this July,” he added.
The two sides last met at Twickenham in November,
when England won 32-15.
Marinos also announced the Australian women, or Wallaroos,
will face Fiji and
Japan at home next month as they build to the World Cup in
New Zealand later this year.
