Two sides looking for a win to reignite disappointing Rugby Championship 2024 campaigns.
Neither side’s Rugby Championship 2024 has gone as they’d have hoped, but every Bledisloe Cup match is a big deal. This guide explains how to watch Australia v New Zealand live streams wherever you are this weekend.
Rugby fans in Australia can watch the match for FREE via the 9Now streaming service, Brits can follow the game on Sky Sports, and Kiwis can tune in on Sky Sport. There are also numerous countries where the Wallabies v All Blacks game is available for free via New Zealand Rugby’s NZR+ service. If you happen to be outside your usual country when the game kicks off on Saturday, you can use a VPN to watch an Australia v New Zealand live stream from abroad.
Both teams have similar records heading into the fifth round of games, with a victory and three defeats apiece. While that wasn’t unexpected for a Wallabies side rebuilding after a dismal World Cup campaign, it’s close to a disaster for the All Blacks who’ll be looking to bounce back from consecutive defeats to the Springboks. Expect Scott Robertson’s side to be extremely fired up when they take the field at Sydney’s Accor Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The game kicks off at 3.45pm AEST / 5.45pm NZST / 6.45am BST.

Watch Wallabies v All Blacks if you’re abroad this weekend
Travelling overseas on Saturday? That doesn’t mean you have to miss the All Blacks’ eagerly anticipated trip to Sydney. 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 it 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.
