This week’s UEFA Super Cup clash between Chelsea and Villarreal marked the start of an exciting new chapter for Stan Sport.

Bledisloe Cup – Game 2/3
New Zealand v Australia
Saturday 14 August
Live on Stan Sport from 4.30pm AEST
The Wallabies get another chance to snap their Eden Park hoodoo dating back to 1986 in the second Bledisloe Cup Test.
Having won the series opener 33-25, the All Blacks will hope to wrap the series up on Saturday. Meanwhile, Australia will take plenty of confidence from the way they finished the first Test and will be looking to make the most of their opportunities in Game 2.
New Zealand coach, Ian Foster, said,
“We know that Australia will be disappointed with the result and will lift. It’s a do or die game for them. But the Bledisloe Cup means a lot to us. It’s an historic trophy, and it’s easy for people to take it for granted based on results in recent years, but throughout history, it has been a hard cup to win, so it’s hugely important.”
The Rugby Championship
South Africa v Argentina
Sunday 15 August

South Africa have made a whopping ten changes from the starting line-up in the series-winning third Test against the British and Irish Lions.
The only players to retain their places are Siya Kolisi, Eben Etzebeth, Lood de Jager, Jasper Wiese, and Cobus Reinach, with the entire backline changed.
Coach, Jacques Nienaber said,
“It is a long season, so it’s important that we manage the players well and rotate our squad to ensure that everyone gets sufficient game time and rest.
“We have a talented squad, and we are excited to see some of the players get a chance to show what they can do against a tough Argentinean outfit.”
