NSW Waratahs v British and Irish Lions: TV channel, live stream and kick-off time
The British and Irish Lions will play New South Wales Waratahs in Sydney on Saturday in the third warm-up game of the Australia tour.
How to watch
The match will kick off at 11am UK time (8pm local time) and will be shown exclusively on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland. You can watch via a Sky Sports subscription here or buy a NowTV pass to access Sky Sports for a day or a month.
After wins against Western Force and Queensland Reds, scoring over 50 points in both, the Lions will be hoping for a third straight victory on Australian soil after the disappointing defeat to Argentina in Dublin.
Andy Farrell has controversially called up his son Owen to the squad to replace the injured Elliot Daly but he will not be involved in the game at Allianz Stadium on Saturday. Instead, there will be 14 changes to the side that swept aside the Reds and a change of captain as Maro Itoje is rested.
It is the turn of Ireland’s Tadhg Beirne to captain the side for the first time and there is a first start for James Ryan alongside the skipper in the second-row. Hugo Keenan at full-back and winger Blair Kinghorn will also make their Lions debuts.
The Waratahs are without a handful of Wallabies stars but will feature internationals Taniela Tupou and Andrew Kellaway in their line-up.
