Recently retired Wallabies prop James Slipper is in line to make a shock return to the gold jersey less than a year after he farewelled the group through a front-row injury crisis, with a record fifth World Cup not ruled out.
The Wallabies will return to Canberra for a Test match for the first time in 10 years after Rugby Australia confirmed a final Rugby World Cup warmup match against Ireland next year.
Rugby Football Union chief executive Bill Sweeney insists there has been no contact with Andy Farrell as part of England's succession planning for the time beyond next year's World Cup.
Argentina will bid to stage the 2035 World Cup as part of a wider South American tournament that will also include Brazil, Chile and Uruguay.
Axed Wallabies coach Dave Rennie's high road to a belated Rugby World Cup chance will come with New Zealand and add another layer to the rivalry when the side's meet at next year's showpiece in Sydney.
