Foxtel Go is a free service for those with a Foxtel TV subscription, although you will need to have the sports channels included in that package.

Foxtel Now (formerly known as Foxtel Play) is a better option if you are only looking to stream Foxtel channels and don’t want the TV subscription. The sports pack on Foxtel Now starts at $39 a month.

Game Information

Although the Chiefs are missing several players due to international duties, they boast a starting lineup with a flurry of talent. Most notably, Stephen Donald and Tim Nanai-Williams in the backline and Liam Messam coming off the bench. Messam will be backing up after the Lions game against his Maori All Blacks on Saturday.

The match will be played at the FMG Stadium Waikato in Hamilton and is scheduled to kick-off at 5:35pm (AEST) on Tuesday, June 20.

The British and Irish Lions will look to continue their winning form as the final preparations for the Test series take place.

Their most recent victory against the Maori All Blacks, 32-10, was perhaps their most impressive outing so far. However, Warren Gatland has named an entirely new starting side for this match, making it hard to predict their performance.
