While Italy have long been at the bottom of the Six Nations, they will be out to send shockwaves through the rugby world ahead of the Rugby World Cup when they travel to England. This is The Roar’s guide to streaming the warm-up match online in Australia, or watching it on TV.
England are taking this match from their traditional home of Twickenham to Newcastle, where they play Italy at St James Park. The match is scheduled to kick-off on Saturday, September 7 at 4:45am (AEST).
This means, due to the time difference, that this match will be played as a Friday night contest in England under lights.
England have had somewhat mixed results in the lead-up to the World Cup, splitting a series with Wales and being demolished by Ireland last week, so they will want a big win here. Italy, on the other hand, were thrashed by France, but did blow out minnows Russia a fortnight ago.
In Australia, this match between Italy and England will be available exclusively on BeIN Sports, which is a channel specialising in European football and rugby content.
BeIN is available through Foxtel.
This means you will need to have a valid Foxtel TV subscription, complete with the sports package of channels to access the match.
Their coverage will start at 4:35am (AEST), approximately ten minutes before kick-off on BeIN Sports 3, which is Channel 515.
There are a number of ways that you will be able to live final World Cup warm-up match online in Australia.
The best way to do so is through Kayo Sports, which is available for $25 per month and grants access to all of Foxtel’s sports channels, as well as other selected events.
BeIN Sports, as with all Foxtel channels, is also available through Foxtel’s dedicated streaming applications, the Foxtel App or Foxtel Now.
The other way to live stream BeIN Sports is through BeIN Sports Connect, which is the company’s streaming service and provides access to some other games that are not broadcast on TV.
