Nine/Stan Rugby Union Coverage

Good news that they finally settled out on a new date for the Perth clash.

It will probably be on 9Gem as per News Corp’s Jamie Pandaram. September 5 is also the last day of the 2021 NRL regular season.

Terrible that a bottom of the table clash that won’t impact the ladder will take precedence. Stupid.

I get the feeling that the rescheduled Bledisloe Cup game will have to be shown on GEM nationwide (Due to the Live coverage of the NRL match between the West Tigers and the Bulldogs match at Moreton Bay Stadium. This match is the final home-and-away match before the NRL FInals). The Southern States might get NRL coverage on GO!

It’ll be on the main channel here in Perth

Wallabies look for home crowd advantage against All Blacks

The Wallabies continue their Rugby Championship campaign this Sunday at Perth’s Optus Stadium against the All Blacks in the third and final Bledisloe Cup test match, LIVE on Channel 9, 9Gem and 9Now.

There will also be extended, live and ad-free coverage on Stan Sport – the home of rugby.

While the Wallabies couldn’t shake off their Eden Park hoodoo last month – losing the first two tests to the All Blacks – they will be hoping a home crowd will help them build momentum for their 2021 Rugby Championship campaign.

Sunday’s game marks the first time since 1996 that the Wallabies have faced the All Blacks on home soil in a daytime fixture. And the Perth crowd will be right behind them, with the game expected to be a sellout.

Coverage will be presented by the top Wide World of Sports and Stan Sport commentary lineup, hosted by Roz Kelly and Nick McCardle, and featuring All Blacks superstars Sonny Bill Williams and Andrew Mehrtens. Wallaby greats Tim Horan, Drew Mitchell, Morgan Turinui and Justin Harrison will break down all the action, assisted by Allana Ferguson.

Bledisloe Game 2 at Eden Park was a disappointment for the Wallabies, trounced 57-22 by the All Blacks. The team will need to put the pain of losing the series behind them as they focus on upcoming clashes against South Africa and Argentina.

COVID-19 has played havoc with The Rugby Championship schedule – with all games having now been re-located to Queensland. Never before has Australia hosted four top tier rugby nations in what will be a festival of rugby with four consecutive weeks of double-headers between the Wallabies, All Blacks, Springboks and Pumas. Coach David Rennie has the unenviable task of choosing a starting lineup that can take the Wallabies to a new level.

The 9Network will screen all Wallabies fixtures in the 2021 Rugby Championship, with every match streaming ad-free, live and on demand with extended coverage on Stan Sport.

Sunday 5 September

Should be on main chqnnel.

NRL is on the main channel in Sydney and Brisbane and RU is already displacing the NRL from 9Gem to 9Go in Melbourne and Adelaide.

Sky Sport NZ taking Stan/9 pre-game today as lockdown restrictions in NZ have prevented them doing a local broadcast.

I believe Sky will have their own commentary however.

Looks like coverage coming from the Today show soft set for the pre game show as the NRL is using the main WWOS studio.

How come we cannot watch replays on 9now like we can for NRL?

Because it’s a Stan product first and foremost?

Spend the next month in rugby heaven as Wallabies fight for championship glory

The Wallabies continue their Rugby Championship campaign this Sunday at Gold Coast’s Cbus Stadium against the Springboks, LIVE on 9Gem and 9Now.

There will also be extended, live and ad-free coverage on Stan Sport – the home of rugby.

COVID-19 has played havoc with the Rugby Championship schedule, with all games being relocated to Queensland. Never before has Australia hosted four top-tier nations in what will be a festival of rugby over the next four weekends of double-headers between the Wallabies, All Blacks, Springboks and Pumas.

Coverage will be presented by the top Wide World of Sports and Stan Sport commentary lineup, hosted by Roz Kelly and Nick McCardle, and featuring All Blacks superstars Sonny Bill Williams and Andrew Mehrtens. Wallaby greats Tim Horan, Drew Mitchell, Morgan Turinui and Justin Harrison will break down all the action, assisted by Allana Ferguson.

After losing the Bledisloe Cup series, the Wallabies are preparing for another brutal contest against the world champion Springboks, who have the most effective forward pack in international rugby.

After Sunday’s clash, there will be little recovery time for the Wallabies, who face the Springboks again on September 18 at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, before playing Argentina over two successive weekends: September 25 in Townsville and October 2 on the Gold Coast.

The 9Network will screen all Wallabies fixtures in the 2021 Rugby Championship, with every match streaming ad-free, live and on demand with extended coverage on Stan Sport.

Wallabies v Springboks broadcast details:

Sydney 7.30pm on 9Gem and Stan Sport from 7.15pm
Brisbane 7.30pm on 9Gem and Stan Sport from 7.15pm
Adelaide 7.00pm on 9Gem and Stan Sport from 6.45pm
Melbourne 7.30pm on 9Gem and Stan Sport from 7.15pm
Perth 5.30pm on 9Gem and Stan Sport from 5.15pm

The Rugby Championship game between Australia and Argentina on September 25 will be shown live on 9Gem in Sydney and Brisbane, due to NRL preliminary final coverage on main channel. Coverage in Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth is yet to be confirmed.

again, poor scheduling. Clash with the AFL Grand Final

The AFL grand final only confirmed where and when it was going to be played last week.

The NRL and RA always planned to play on the Saturday night, well after the AFL would have been.

Maybe as latecomers they should shift the final to Sunday to avoid the NRL and rugby…
