Sydney will play host to a mouth-watering weekend of World Cup primers after the grand old dame of club rugby, Randwick, secured a blockbuster clash with Argentina on the same day the Wallabies play Samoa at Bankwest Stadium.

The match, the finer details of which are still to be finalised, is earmarked for September 7 in the traditional club rugby time slot of 3pm.

It would set up the prospect of a top-flight double header – albeit on different sides of the city – with the Wallabies hosting Samoa at the new Parramatta venue at 7.45pm.

Randwick hope to stage the match at Coogee Oval but have not yet secured agreement to do so, with groundskeepers usually focused on preparing the seaside venue for the coming cricket season at that time.
