Australia takes on South Africa in the Rugby Championship on Saturday, September 6.
The match at Patersons Stadium in Perth is slated to start at 6:05 p.m. AEDT (11:05 a.m. SAST).
The match will be broadcast on Fox Sports 2 in Australia and SuperSport in South Africa.
Live streaming will be available through the broadcasters.
The Springboks are coming off two wins over Argentina while Australia is coming off a loss to New Zealand following a draw.
The Wallabies will be looking for a win to start this leg of the Rugby Championship while the Springboks will look to continue their momentum.
“The Wallabies are looking to relaunch their Rugby Championship campaign after a disastrous performance in their last outing a fortnight ago. Ewen McKenzie’s men headed over to Auckland’s Eden Park seemingly high on confidence following an opening round 12-all draw with the All Blacks, only to be smashed off the paddock in a 51-20 rout. They’ve had two weeks to recover from that debacle and set themselves for a new challenge: the second best side in the world behind New Zealand - South Africa,” Fox Sports previewed.
“Their opponents on Saturday night, the Springboks, have a point to prove of their own after coming in for criticism during the early rounds. The South Africans sit atop the Rugby Championship ladder thanks to back-to-back victories over Argentina, but the manner and margin of those two tight wins hasn’t sat well with the critics. With the big men up front copping plenty of heat, coach Heyneke Meyer has charged veteran lock Victor Matfield, young gun Eben Etzebeth and ‘The Beast’ Tendai Mtawarira with stiffening up the pack.
“It was up front that the Springboks outmuscled the Wallabies to twice roll them in last year’s two Rugby Championship encounters, and the forward battle will again hold the key to Saturday night’s outcome.”
