"We are extremely excited to be able to host the first ever international event at the new Allianz Stadium," RA CEO Andy Marinos said in a statement.

“To have the Wallabies taking on the World Champion Springboks in front of over 40,000 supporters is going to be an amazing experience, and one I’m sure those in attendance will never forget.

“I would like to thank the NSW Government for their support in hosting the Test and congratulate them on what is a truly world class stadium built here in Sydney.”

Tickets will go on sale from 2pm AEST today (June 9) for Wallaby First members, with Super Rugby Members tickets on sale from 12pm AEST June 10.
