Australia’s Rugby World Cup campaign will kick-off on Saturday afternoon in Japan as they take on Fiji in what could prove to be an important encounter for both sides. This is The Roar’s guide to live streaming the match online, or watching it on TV in Australia.
Kick-off in the match is scheduled for 2:45pm (AEST) on Saturday, September 21, with it to be played at the Sapporo Dome.
While Pool D at the World Cup is expected to be decided by the Wallabies and Wales, any slip up beforehand could have either side in a battle to qualify for the knockout stages of the tournament, so it still shapes as a must-win battle for the Wallabies, who will also look to prepare for the battle with Wales in their second clash at the tournament.
Fiji, on the other hand, will need to cause an upset somewhere along the line, and doing it against an inconsistent Wallabies in their first match, could prove the best chance of doing so.
