Australia will face Wales, Ireland and Scotland as part of their tour to the Northern Hemisphere next November.
The Wallabies will kick off their tour against Wales at the Millennium Stadium and the Wales clash will be followed by Tests against Italy, Ireland and Scotland on consecutive weekends.
 
Qantas Wallabies Head Coach John Connolly says the tour will be a good opportunity for the squad’s younger players to develop their skills against tough opposition ahead of the 2007 Rugby World Cup.
 
"We have a line up of strong opponents and will be looking at this tour as a chance to benchmark the opposition ahead of next year’s World Cup," said Connolly.
 
With the four Tests confirmed, the Wallabies will now look to include some mid-week matches on their 2006 Spring Tour.
