Gloucester have confirmed a fixture against Australia at Kingsholm on November 3.
It will launch the Wallabies’ United Kingdom leg of their upcoming tour, which also includes appointments with England and Wales.
Cherry and Whites managing director Ken Nottage said: “I am absolutely delighted to be able to announce the visit of the Australian national team to Kingsholm.
“Everyone at Gloucester is working hard to establish Kingsholm as one of the premier rugby venues in Europe.
“We have been fortunate enough to stage Under-20 internationals, a European Challenge Cup final, the Barbarians versus Ireland and are among the proposed venues for the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
“Welcoming a team of the stature of Australia to Kingsholm further boosts our credentials in this respect, and we are all looking forward to this fixture hugely.”
