The final match of the 2015 Rugby World Cup is at hand, as the Wallabies and All Blacks meet to decide who will take home the Webb Ellis Cup. The match is scheduled to take place on Sunday November 1 at 3:00am AEDT.
The match will be televised live both via free-to-air TV on channel GEM and via Foxtel on Fox Sports 2 (channel 502).
GEM’s coverage of the game will begin at 2:15am AEDT and runs through until the finish of the game which is expected to end around 5:00am AEDT.
Fox Sports 2 offers more extensive coverage, beginning with pre-game at 2:00am AEDT and also providing an hour of post-game coverage after the game’s expected conclusion at 5:00am AEDT.
The Wallabies head into the match as the underdogs but with both sides having had impressive World Cup campaigns to date, they will be hopeful that they can pull of an unexpected victory.
Neither side has tasted defeat so far in this World Cup as both topped their pools with 4-0 records and have won their way through the quarter-finals and semi-finals.
However that run of wins has to end for one of these two teams. New Zealand certainly look the strongest heading in but a poor first half against the Springboks last week suggests they are not unbeatable.
Australia needed a little bit of luck to get past their quarter-final meeting with Scotland but had a more comfortable victory over Argentina last week, defeating the Pumas 29-15.
The Wallabies are out to $3 in the betting markets to come away with a win, while the All Blacks are the clear favourites at $1.41.
