It’s another big week of sport ahead and The Roar has you covered with every event shown over the course of the weekend in Australia all compiled on this one page.
From the usual footy fare of AFL, NRL and Super Rugby to tennis, cycling and motorsport, it’s a busy few days ahead for the sports fanatic. But watching all of the events live just isn’t going to happen, unless you can somehow find a way to instantly travel from Sydney to Melbourne to London and back again.
No, the only way to catch all of the action is from the comfort of your living room in front of your favourite TV. Here are all the events you won’t want to miss this weekend.
