The Springboks play the Wallabies in the fifth week of the Rugby Championship at Bloemfontein on Sunday 1 October at 1:05am AEST.

Let’s super definitively reiterate that, because most of Australia is moving to daylight savings time just a little bit later in the day.

The official changeover to daylight savings is at 2am on Sunday morning, so it will still be AEST when the match begins at 1:05am, but if you’re living in a daylight savings state then your clock will go forward during the match and it’ll technically finish around 4am AEDT.

Date: Sunday 1 October (AEST)
Venue: Free State Stadium, Bloemfontein
Kick-off: 1:05am (AEST)
Betting: South Africa $1.40, Wallabies $3
Referee: Ben O’Keeffe (New Zealand)
Assistant Referees: Jerome Garces (France), Shuhei Kubo (Japan)
TMO: Rowan Kitt (England)

The Wallabies will be hoping to get back-to-back victories on the board and get their second win of the Rugby Championship, but they have quite a task ahead of them travelling to Bloemfontein.

The Springboks were slaughtered by New Zealand in their last outing and will be hoping to bounce back for reasons of self respect if nothing else.
