Australia had home success against Wales and Georgia before last year's Rugby Championship, winning 36-28 and 40-29.

However, the Wallabies failed to win their remaining home fixtures. They lost 33-7 and 30-12 to South Africa and were edged 31-28 by New Zealand.

Australia will be testing out combinations for their upcoming Test series against the British & Irish Lions. However, they have lacked consistency in recent seasons, although they have an excellent record playing Fiji at home, winning six in a row.
