Wallabies take on Italy in Padova

The Wallabies will open the European leg of their Spring Tour in the Italian city of Padova on November 8.

Stadio Euganeo (capacity 32,300) has been designated as the venue for the test against Italy, which falls a week after the final Bledisloe Cup match against the All Blacks in Hong Kong.

Australia last played in Padova at the smaller Stadio del Plebiscito in 1996 when David Campese became the first
Wallaby to reach 100 Test caps in a 40-18 win over Italy.
