It’s the final June international for the Wallabies and they will be out to flip the script against Italy after a tough loss last time out. The match is scheduled to kick-off at 3pm (AEST) on Saturday, June 24.
The Wallabies picked up a convincing victory in their first match against Fiji, but lost to Scotland last week in Sydney. Despite having a glut of possession in the last ten minutes, they couldn’t bridge the five-point gap.

CRH - don't like watching the national anthem? This is a test match, mate. If advertised kick off is 3pm and it doesn't happen until 3.15pm, does it really matter? Welcome to country, team line ups and the anthems allow us to get into the game. A viewer warm up almost. I suggest staring at a blank wall for 15 mins if you don't have patience to listen to two national anthems and the players running onto the field...

I bet 3 pm isn't really the kick-off time; rather the time the teams come out onto the field and the preliminaries commence including the national anthems. Isn't it interesting that we have become so inured to these little untruths. Surely there is no ambiguity around the term kick-off! I guess its all done in the interests of getting the crowd in on time, but we are adults after all! Nanny state anyone?
