Can the Wallabies claim their first Rugby Championship win of 2024 in the Pumas' back yard?
Two sides with differing fortunes in this year’s Rugby Championship are about to kick off. This guide explains how to watch Argentina v Australia live streams, wherever you are in the world.
UK viewers can tune in via Sky/Now, while Aussies can watch on Stan Sport. There are also numerous countries where this Rugby Championship game is available for free via New Zealand Rugby’s NZR+ service. If you happen to be outside your usual country when the action kicks off, you can use a VPN to watch a Pumas v Wallabies live stream from abroad.
Argentina got their 2024 tournament off to a memorable start, beating the mighty All Blacks in Wellington – just their third ever victory over New Zealand. Although they suffered a comprehensive loss in the Eden Park follow-up, they’re sure to be confident in front of a home crowd, and will want to give legendary hooker Agustin Creevy a fitting send-off in his final game for the Pumas. Things are looking less rosy for the Wallabies. After their dismal showing under Eddie Jones at last year’s Rugby World Cup, new Australia coach Joe Schmidt seemed to have turned a corner with back-to-back wins over Wales. But after a pair of humbling defeats to the All Blacks – one against a largely second-string side – they’ll be desperate for a win.
It’s looking like a chilly, rainy evening in La Plata for the second of this weekend’s Rugby Championship matches – kick-off is at 11.00pm if you’re in the UK and 8.00am if you’re in Australia. Read on to find out how to watch Argentina v Australia live streams. If you want to tune into other games in the tournament, check out our guide to watching the Rugby Championship from anywhere.

Watch Argentina v Australia live streams if you’re away from home
Away from home for work or a vacation this weekend? That doesn’t mean you have to miss the second Rugby Championship match of the weekend. Fans who are travelling overseas can watch their usual service with the help of a VPN.
A VPN – or Virtual Private Network – is a handy piece of software that allows you to change your device’s IP address. This means you can view live or on-demand TV content as if you were sitting at home in front of your own television – even when you’re overseas. (Assuming this complies with the broadcaster’s T&Cs, of course.)
The technology experts from TechRadar love NordVPN for its strong privacy features, ease of use, and the fact it allows you to watch your favourite TV on multiple devices simultaneously. You also get a money-back guarantee, 24/7 support, and it’s currently available at a knockdown price.
