Australia results at Rugby World Cup 2023: Scores, matches, schedule for Wallabies image

Although they head into the 2023 World Cup in varied recent form, Australia will still hope to put some magic together and claim their third ever title. 

The Wallabies haven't won this competition since all the way back in 1999 thanks to New Zealand and South Africa's recent dominance and although new boss Eddie Jones is still putting his mark on the team, they'll be keen to cause an upset. 

Starting their Pool C schedule with a straight forward win over Georgia, Australia will be eager to carry that momentum into facing Fiji and Wales which will likely decide their fate at this tournament. 

The Sporting News is on hand to bring you the latest results from the Wallabies' 2023 Rugby World Cup campaign.

Australia have not won the World Cup since 1999, losing in the final in both 2003 and 2015, but are hoping to shake off some questionable form and once more return to the top of the mountain in France this autumn. 

They find themselves in Pool C this time around alongside Georgia, Fiji, Wales and Portugal. 

The Wallabies opened their group fixtures with a win over Georgia. They will now face both Fiji and Wales before finishing their group stage campaign on Monday, October 2 versus minnows Portugal.
