The Wallabies will quarantine at a four-star hotel in Christchurch ahead of the first Bledisloe Cup test in Wellington.
The Chateau on the Park will be used as the Wallabies’ base as they prepare for the test against the All Blacks at Sky Stadium on October 11.
The squad is expected to arrive in Christchurch on Friday.
Stuff.co.nz reports it’s understood the squad will train at the Linwood club about 8km away from the Chateau on the Park.
Linwood club is relatively secluded, with the high fences offering privacy, and the fields are often in excellent order.
The Wallabies are required to go through a 14-day isolation period like every other new arrival into New Zealand.
The Wallabies won’t be permitted to train until day three when everyone will be required to take a test for COVID-19.
If all members of the tour party test negative, the full squad will be allowed to start training. They can train together from day six.
More tests will be done during their stay and if anyone tests positive that will be the end of the Bledisloe Cup tests in New Zealand.
The second test is scheduled to be played in Auckland on October 18.
The All Blacks are currently in camp in Whakatāne.
Next week they will be based in Hamilton.
