All Blacks v Wallabies: How to watch, live streaming and kick-off time
Wallabies head coach Joe Schmidt and All Blacks boss Scott Robertson shaking hands.
Australia have a chance to challenge for the Bledisloe Cup and break New Zealand’s Eden Park unbeaten run as they face off in the Rugby Championship.
Despite New Zealand’s defeat to South Africa last time out and Australia’s loss to Argentina, both sides are in the hunt for a well-balanced Championship win with just a single point separating the teams.
The All Blacks have not lost at Eden Park since 1994 and Australia’s drought in Auckland stretches all the way back to 1986.
The match will kick off at 6.05am UK time (5.05pm New Zealand time) and can be viewed on Sky Sports here.
US fans will be able to watch the game on streaming platform FloSports. The platform has the rights to all of the Rugby Championship games and you can watch it here.
All Blacks head coach Scott Robertson says: “My job is to lead this team, so I’d probably think more about them than myself. There are a lot of shareholders in our country that we serve. They let us know what they think, and so they should.
“We’ve talked about that. Our job is to serve our people and that’s always been our focus, so now we can do it again on Saturday.
“We know how important the Bledisloe Cup is to both teams and a lot of ex-All Blacks have given us an opportunity through their performances, and now it’s our opportunity to show how much it means to us.”
