Wallabies, All Blacks lock in October Bledisloe Cup dates
The Wallabies will face the All Blacks on October 11 in the first of two Bledisloe Cup Tests after New Zealand further relaxed quarantine protocols.
Dave Rennie's squad will only be required to isolate for three days before they are allowed to train as a full squad. The relaxation of strict quarantine rules has seen Rugby Australia agree to play the first Bledisloe on Sunday, October 11.

The second Test will take place one week later before the two teams return to Australia for The Rugby Championship.
"Dave [Rennie] and the team are incredibly excited about the prospect of playing in New Zealand and will get straight to work following the Vodafone Super Rugby AU Final on Saturday night in Canberra," interim RA chief executive Rob Clarke said.
"We will now meet with our SANZAAR joint venture partners on Thursday to work on confirming the schedule for The Rugby Championship here in Australia to start in November." Clarke said.
