The match will be broadcast live on both free-to-air TV (Channel Ten, TenHD) and Foxtel (Fox Sports 2, Fox Sports 2HD).

Ten’s coverage will begin at 7:30pm AEST with half an hour of pre-game coverage before the scheduled kick-off time of 8pm AEST. Their broadcast will wrap up at 10:15pm AEST.

Fox Sports’ coverage will begin slightly earlier at 7:20pm AEST with 40 minutes of pre-game coverage, and is then scheduled to conclude at 10pm AEST.

While the series is beyond the Wallabies’ reach at this stage, given they have lost the first two matches at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane and AAMI Park in Melbourne, there is still the chance to avoid a whitewash and restore some pride to the Wallaby name.

While the Wallabies have started as betting favourites to no avail in the first two matches, this one is currently seen as dead even with betting companies, both sides priced at $1.92 to win.

There’s been some significant upheaval in the team ahead of the third Test. Will Skelton, Rob Simmons and Matt Toomua have all been brought in as starters, with Rory Arnold, Sam Carter and Samu Kerevi all out of the side.

Scott Sio, Taqele Naiyaravoro, Wycliff Palu and a debutant in Adam Coleman have all been added to the replacements, with Toby Smith, Dean Mumm, Ben McCalman and Luke Morahan out.
