The Wallabies are set to kick off their 2022 End of Year Tour with a blockbuster clash against Scotland in Edinburgh.

The Test, scheduled for 29 October, has been confirmed today and will be the second consecutive year the two sides have met at Murrayfield.

Last year's encounter saw the home side take a two-point win with a penalty kick in the dying minutes in front of more the 67,000 spectators.

Rugby Australia CEO, Andy Marinos said: "We are delighted to be able to confirm The Wallabies will be taking on Scotland again in 2022."

"It's was a close encounter last November and this is yet another good Test for us against a Tier One nation which will provide the team with invaluable match experience as they continue to build momentum ahead of the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France.

"I'd like to thank Mark and the Scotland Rugby Union for the work done in making this fixture possible, where we are looking forward to kicking off our Northern tour in Edinburgh later this year."
