Week 2 of the NRL finals and back-to-back knockout games for the remainder of the season will come to life as the South Sydney Rabbitohs take on the Manly Sea Eagles at Homebush. This is The Roar’s full guide to live streaming the match online, or watching it on TV.

The match is scheduled to get underway with the kick-off at 7:50pm (AEST) on Friday, September 20, although it’ll likely be a few minutes later before the match actually begins, with it to be played at ANZ Stadium in Homebush.

This first semi-final is a case of massive surprise packet against the side who have underperformed but still snuck into the top four.

While the Rabbitohs barely played at their best all season, they still finished third, only to be blown out of the water by the Sydney Roosters in last weekend’s qualifying final against the Sydney Roosters.

That means they now have to play a semi-final, and will take on the Manly Sea Eagles, who finished sixth and beat the Cronulla Sharks last weekend, despite not being tipped to make the finals at the start of the year, or win last weekend as they battled an injury and suspension crisis.

Manly are again the rank outsiders, but it’d take a brave man to completely write them off ahead of what should be an exciting match.

How to watch the match on TV

There are two ways to watch this match on TV, as is the case right across the first three weeks of the NRL finals series.

The other way to watch the match will be through the NRL’s official free to air broadcaster, who hold the rights to every match of the finals series.
