    Wallabies to play Argentina at Twickenham

    ARGENTINA will take their Rugby Championship ‘home’ fixture against Australia this year not to Buenos Aires, Mendoza or Rosario — but to London.

    England rugby’s governing body the RFU made the announcement that the Pumas and Wallabies would battle on October 8 at Twickenham.

    The match will be the first time a Rugby Championship match will be played outside the four nations involved in the southern hemisphere tournament.

    The clash will take place just over a year after the two sides played at the same venue in the semi-finals of the Rugby World Cup, a bruising match the Wallabies won 29-15.

    The Pumas’ other home matches in the Rugby Championship will be in Argentina — against South Africa on August 27 in Salta and against New Zealand on October 1 in Buenos Aires.

    Despite taking a Test against world No 2 Australia away from fans in Argentina to neutral territory and foregoing home-ground advantage, the president of Union Argentina de Rugby, Carlos Araujo, wasn’t fazed.

    “Playing again in Twickenham which is one of the main stages of rugby in the world, it’s fantastic for the UAR,” Araujo said.

    “We are grateful to the Rugby Football Union for letting us be local in their stadium.”

    Are the Wallabies such a bad draw that they hope the Shepherd's Bush crowd will fill the stadium?
