New Caledonia Tourism is pleased to announce that the South Pacific island destination will welcome the Wallabies for training ahead of rugby’s showpiece in Japan next month.  

Between 23 August – 6 September, New Caledonia will host the Wallabies’ 35 players and 24 coaches and managers. During their time in New Caledonia, the team will train for their upcoming matches in Japan – with some sessions open to the public – as well as hold tactical and strategic meetings. The team will also enjoy the best of New Caledonia, with a range of team building activities organised for the players, coaches and managers.

Welcoming the Wallabies to New Caledonia is the result of hard work and collaboration between the tourism board, its partners including Entire Travel Group and New Caledonia Travel Connection, as well as its suppliers, who are providing training facilities, activities, sports hydration beverages and more.

“For New Caledonia Tourism, hosting the Wallabies as they train for the tournament in Japan is an exciting opportunity,” said Jean-Marc Mocellin, General Manager, New Caledonia Tourism. “They are one of the world’s most famous teams and welcoming the players, their coaches and management is a true international showcase for New Caledonia. Australia is one of New Caledonia’s closest Pacific neighbours, and we wish the national team all the best during their preparations and the competition.”
