The Wallabies will look to take a 2-0 lead in their Test series with Ireland in when they clash this Saturday night. This is The Roar’s guide to live streaming the second Test online or watching it on TV.
Set to be played at AAMI Park in Melbourne, the second Test is scheduled to kick-off at 8pm (AEST) on Saturday, June 16.
Australia got their 2018 season off to a solid start last week, playing out a gritty 18-9 victory over the current world No. 2 side in Brisbane. Bernard Foley and David Pocock crossed the line for the Wallabies as they overcame an iffy start to emerge victors.
Like most Wallabies home games, you’ll have two channels to choose from if you want to watch this match on TV.
Fox Sports is the first option for watching Wallabies games, with coverage on Channel 501 set to begin with a pre-game at 7:20pm (AEST) – immediately after the conclusion of New Zealand’s second Test with France.
There’ll be roughly 40 minutes of pre-game discussion before the game begins at approximately 8pm (AEST).
To watch the coverage on Fox Sports, you will need to have a valid Foxtel TV subscription including the sports package.
There is also a free-to-air option in Channel Ten, who have a deal with Rugby Australia to simulcast all Wallabies home game.
Ten’s coverage begins at 7:30pm (AEST), although check your local listings to see whether coverage will be on Ten proper or their sports offshoot One.
There are a handful of options available to those who’d rather stream the second Test.
Foxtel’s coverage can be streamed via two different methods – one for those with existing Foxtel subscriptions and one for those without.
If you do have the TV subscription already, you can stream the Fox Sports coverage through the Foxtel App – an app free to download and use for existing Foxtel customers.
If you’re not currently subscribed to Foxtel, you’ll need to use Foxtel Now instead. Foxtel Now is a streaming-only variant of Foxtel with different subscription packages available. Of course, you’ll need one with the sports package included to catch the rugby.
As before, Ten also has a free streaming option through the TenPlay website or application. The application is free to download from your device’s app store.
As always, The Roar will also be covering the match with a live blog and highlights.
