The third match of the Wallabies‘ Spring Tour in Europe sees them take on France at the Stade-de-France in Paris. Kick-off is scheduled for 7am on Sunday 20 November (AEDT).
Australia have made a good start to their Spring Tour campaign, picking up two wins which has kept their opportunity to win the grand slam alive.
The grand slam goes on hold this weekend though, as they travel to France in what is being billed as one of the marquee games of the Tour.
So far, the Wallabies have had a strong win over Wales to kick things off in Cardiff before escaping with a one-point win over Scotland at Murrayfield.
In what is fantastic news for Australian Rugby fans, SBS recently announced they would cover the matches against France and England, meaning this will be available on free-to-air TV.
SBS will begin their coverage at 6:50am (AEDT), while BeIN Sports, who are broadcasting every match of the Wallabies Spring Tour start with a pre-game show at 6:30am (AEDT).
Kick-off time: 7am (AEDT)
