The Wallabies will get their Spring Tour underway with a stopover in Asia before heading to Europe, as they take on 2019 Rugby World Cup hosts, Japan. This is The Roar‘s guide to streaming the match online and watching it on TV.
The match is scheduled to be played at Nissan Stadium in Yokohama, with kick-off scheduled for 4:40pm (AEDT) on Saturday, November 4.
Australia enters the Spring Tour having finished second in the Rugby Championship, losing both of their games to the All Blacks, drawing both with South Africa and beating Argentina twice.
Despite that, the third match of the Bledisloe Cup saw a strong victory over New Zealand, before a fixture against the Barbarians in Sydney last weekend also gave the Wallabies a win.
They enter the Spring Tour with plenty of confidence but will need to be at their best against a Japan side who are now ranked 11th in the world and will be looking to pull off a big upset on home soil.
For this first match of the Spring Tour the only way to watch the Wallabies will be via Foxtel.
Their coverage will be on Fox Sports 505, with a 40-minute pre-game show starting at 4pm (AEDT).
To watch the coverage on Fox Sports, you will need a valid Foxtel TV subscription complete with the sports package.
For other Spring Tour matches to follow, you’ll be able to watch on SBS.
Because Fox Sports are the exclusive broadcaster of the match, the only way you will be able to watch the match online is through one of Foxtel’s streaming applications.
There are two of them, however, using one or the other depends on your circumstances. If you already have a TV subscription, then you should use the Foxtel app, which is included for free.
Should you only want to stream the channels of Foxtel, then you should use Foxtel Now, which starts from $29 per month for packages including sports.
