Wallabies announce 2010 domestic program

Australia will kick off its 2010 domestic season with Tests against England, Ireland and Fiji.

The Wallabies, who collected the Tri-Nations wooden spoon courtesy of their 33-6 defeat to New Zealand in Wellington last Saturday night, will tune up for next year's tournament by playing Fiji in Canberra on June 5, followed by back-to-back Tests against England in Perth and Sydney on June 12 and 19.

They will then face current Six Nations champions Ireland in Brisbane on June 26.

Details for next year's Tri-Nations series against reigning champions South Africa and the All Blacks, which will follow the domestic Tests, have not yet been released but the Australian Rugby Union says it will include a Bledisloe Cup tie in Melbourne.
