The biggest match in New South Wales state rugby is here for 2019, with Sydney University set to take on Warringah in the final of the Shute Shield. This is The Roar’s guide to streaming the match online or watching the match on TV.
This year’s Shute Shield final will be played at the newest stadium Sydney has to offer, Bankwest Stadium in Parramatta, and will kick-off at 3:15pm (AEST) on Saturday, August 24.

The students finished at the top of the ladder at the end of the regular season, winning 12 of their 17 games in what was an excellent performance across the course of the year. They then defeated Manly and Northern Suburbs convincingly in their knockout games to make the grand final.
Warringah, on the other hand, finished in third spot on the ladder at the end of the season and, like the students, had an impressive run through the finals as they ran past Eastwood by seven points last week to make the decider.
The Shute Shield, one of the biggest domestic rugby competitions in Australia, is broadcast in New South Wales by the Seven Network.
Unfortunately, the match is not available for viewing outside of the state it’s played in on TV, as Channel Seven don’t show it outside of New South Wales.
Their coverage of the grand final this year will be shown on 7Two, which can be found on Channel 72, or 137 if watching through a Foxtel service. The broadcast will start at 3pm (AEST), allowing for a 15-minute pre-game show.
If you’d prefer to stream the Shute Shield final online, then you’ll be able to using Channel 7’s dedicated streaming service.
This is called 7Plus, and is available for free, so long as you sign up with a valid email address and other details as needed by the Seven Network.
Here at The Roar, we will also cover the game with live scores, a blog and highlights from 3pm (AEST) on Saturday afternoon.
