Is Australia vs South Africa on TV? How to watch Rugby Championship fixture – Henry Club

Australia can significantly boost their hopes of a first Rugby Championship since 2015 with another win over the Springboks on Saturday.

The Wallabies defeated the reigning world champions 25-17 last weekend and are seeking a third victory in four matches in the highly-competitive four-team competition.

Meanwhile, South Africa have already lost to both New Zealand and Australia, so a defeat here would all but end their hopes of claiming the title.

But all four sides involved – the other being Argentina – have lost in the opening three games, so it’s all to play for heading into this weekend.

Here’s all you need to know about Saturday’s fixture.

When is it?

The fixture will take place on Saturday 3 September at 10.35am BST.
