The Wallabies' clash with Italy has officially sold out hours before Saturday's Test at HBF Park.
It's the third straight Test that has been at capacity for the Nations Championship to start 2026, which includes a stadium record at Allianz Stadium for the Ireland Test, with the mark set to be the highest for a Test match at HBF Park.

The match served as a double header for the Super Rugby Women's semi-final between the Western Force and NSW Waratahs.
“The Wallabies are grateful for the support of Western Australia’s vibrant rugby community and are thrilled to confirm HBF Park is sold out for this evening’s Test against Italy.
“Today’s Test match is extra special as it forms part of an historic double-header with the Western Force’s Swyftx Super Rugby Women semi-final against the NSW Waratahs. No matter which team you are cheering on, we sincerely thank you for your valued support.
“The Wallabies have now sold out all three home Nations Championship Tests to start 2026 and have played to five straight capacity crowds dating back to last year.
“This extraordinary level of support is something we never take for granted and will work hard to continue growing as we build towards next year’s home Rugby World Cup.”
The sell-out continues the trend for packed Wallabies Tests stretching back to the 2025 British & Irish Lions tour.
Seven of the last nine Wallabies home matches have reached capacity, including the last five Tests.
It started with the first and third Tests of the Lions tour, and whilst the second match of the series wasn't sold out, it broke the record for the largest ever Lions crowd in their history.
Sell-outs against Argentina and New Zealand followed, leaving the average crowd for 2025 at over 53,000.
