Wallabies face Springboks tonight on NINE and STAN SPORT

The Wallabies face the world No.1-ranked Springboks tonight, with the Test live across Nine and Stan Sport from Optus Stadium in Perth.

Australia returns home following a historic series victory over Argentina and remains undefeated under head coach Les Kiss, having recorded three wins and a draw since he took charge.

The Wallabies have also scored at their highest rate since 1985 this year, setting up a significant test against the reigning World Cup champions. Captain Harry Wilson leads the Wallabies into the clash, with Rob Valetini and Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii among the key names in the side.

Suaalii will start on the wing for the first time in his Test career, while Jordan Petaia has returned to the Wallabies squad for the first time since the 2023 Rugby World Cup.

The Springboks arrive in Perth after winning their recent series against New Zealand 3-1, with South Africa having recorded 15 wins from its past 16 matches and held the world No.1 ranking for all but one week over that period.

The Test will also form part of Australia’s preparations for the 2027 Rugby World Cup, with Optus Stadium set to host the Wallabies’ opening match of the tournament next year. The two sides have played 10 Tests in Perth, with Australia and South Africa recording four wins each and two draws.

Michael Atkinson will lead Nine’s coverage alongside Wallaroos star Sera Naiqama, former Wallabies captain Michael Hooper and former Wallaby Justin Harrison, with Sean Maloney joined in commentary by Wallabies legends Tim Horan and Morgan Turinui.

Stan Sport will begin its coverage with an exclusive pre-show, with the match available live and on demand and in 4K for eligible subscribers.
