New Wallabies coach Dave Rennie remains confident his first international assignment will be against the All Blacks in Wellington in October despite the COVID-19 pandemic.

Rennie said "more discussions" around player selection policies needed to be had with Rugby Australia.

Officially a week into his latest role, the former Chiefs coach is still a month away form being able to join his new team on the training pitch in Australia.

Having completed two weeks of quarantine in Auckland, Rennie is spending a fortnight in his home town of Palmerston North before departing for Sydney where another 14 days of isolation awaits.

Rennie told Sky Sport his sole focus is October 10th, which he remains adamant will be the first Bledisloe Cup Test date in Wellington, even though details of the Trans-Tasman series are yet to be announced.

If correct, he'd have about three weeks preparation with Australian players after the completion of the Super Rugby Australia domestic competition which finishes on September 19th.
