On 22 October, McMahon was named in the Australian national team for the Wallabies 2014 End-of-year test, under the new coach of Michael Cheika. He made his first appearance against the Barbarians on 1 November, but it was a week later he made his test debut against Wales at the Millennium Stadium, starting in the #6 Jersey.
