How to watch Australia vs New Zealand: free live streams for Rugby Championship 2024 game, start time

Watch Australia vs New Zealand at Rugby Championship 2024, with round five set to take place on Saturday. Below we have all the info on how to watch Australia vs New Zealand online from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters, free streams and start times.

Ordinarily Australia and New Zealand would be gunning for glory in the penultimate set of fixtures at the Rugby Championship. This time around, this is a meeting between fourth and third in the standings with the finish line just around the corner. Indeed, Australia are rock-bottom after losing three out of their four games to date, including a record-breaking 67-27 defeat by Argentina last time out. The Wallabies are under pressure to salvage some pride this weekend.

New Zealand are also looking to bounce back, in their case from a pair of losses to the Springboks in South Africa earlier this month. They have an excellent recent record against Australia, having won each of the last seven meetings, and they will be reasonably confident of making it eight triumphs in a row on Saturday. The All Blacks will not catch South Africa in top spot but they can still finish as runners-up.
