Australia is currently taking part in the Rugby Championship, which sees the Wallabies go up against their familiar Southern Hemisphere foes in a jam-packed month of rugby action.
It is a new dawn for the Wallabies after a horror 2023, with new coach Joe Schmidt looking to restore some pride in the green and gold jersey after years of underperformance.

Australia Rugby Championship history
Since the creation of the Rugby Championship in 2012, Australia has only won the tournament once in 2015.
They were unbeaten for the first time, however it was a shortened competition with just three games due to the upcoming 2015 World Cup.
Australia has failed to come close since then, winning the wooden spoon twice, including in last year's edition.
Whilst the 2023 tournament was also a shortened version due to the World Cup, Australia lost all three games, including at home to Argentina, and a 31-point walloping at the hands of New Zealand.
