France host one of the marquee matches of Australia’s Spring Tour at the Stade de France on Sunday Morning at 7am (AEDT). If you’re looking to live stream the match online or watch it on TV, you’re in the right place – we’ve got all the details on how to watch here.
Australia have had a strong start to their Spring Tour, keeping the potential grand slam alive with a strong win over Wales to kick things off in Cardiff before escaping with a one-point win over Scotland at Murrayfield.
While the grand slam takes a break this weekend, the game against France is expected to be one of the toughest on tour.
It was recently announced that SBS would cover the matches against France and England on free-to-air TV, meaning this match will be one of them.
SBS will broadcast the match on Sunday Morning in HD, on their main channel from 6:50am (AEDT) allowing for a ten-minute pre-game show before kick-off, with their coverage expected to end at 9am.
BeIN Sports, who are broadcasting every match from the Wallabies Spring Tour being their coverage at 6:30am (AEDT) with a half hour pre-game show, before having a 15 minute post game show as well, extending their coverage to 9:15am (AEDT).
This particular match against France will be on BeIn Sports 3, which is channel 513 or 282 if you are looking to watch the match in HD.
To live stream the match online, there will be three options this time thanks to SBS picking up coverage. The first of these is through SBS on Demand, which streams all of SBS’s channels 24/7 on any device you may own.
Another way to live stream it will be to use the Foxtel Play and Foxtel Go apps.
Foxtel Go is free if you’ve already got an existing Foxtel service. Foxtel Play is the better option for viewers who are looking only to access live-streaming services, and are not interested in a traditional installation.
Foxtel Play begins at a minimum cost of $25 per month, but goes up to at least $50 per month if you are including the ‘Sports’ package. There is a two-week free trial available for new customers.
These apps allow you to stream Foxtel channels to a variety of devices – PC and Mac computers, and Android and iOS tablets and mobiles.
It’s also possible to purchase access directly through BeIN. There is currently a free trial available for new users.
You can also access some of BeIN’s coverage through Fetch TV, however, only BeIN Sports 1 is available in this manner, and the match is being televised on BeIN Sports 3 – so, Fetch TV will not be an option for this match.
Of course, The Roar will also have a live blog and highlights of the match.
Other matches being televised on BeIN Sports this weekend are , England vs Fiji (Sunday 1:25am), Wales vs Japan (1:30am), Scotland vs Argentina (Sunday 3:55am) and Ireland vs New Zealand (Sunday 4:30am)
