Do we even know if the Wallabies V Pumas game is going ahead?
It is going ahead, because the Pumas have brought in a large squad of players to form a team.

Why wouldn’t it? Has something changed since it was confirmed to be going ahead?
I think he’s referring to the players that went to Byron Bay, but the teams have been named and barring any sudden change it’ll be going ahead.
Exactly.
It’s not the wallabies fault the pumas want to break COVID rules…
Who said it was? But the Pumas can still field a team.
Stan Sport will stream the Wallabies’ match against Japan at Oita Stadium on Saturday, October 23 at 3.45pm AEDT, as they begin their first Spring Tour since 2018.
The Wallabies will play Scotland, England and Wales next month as part of the tour, but the broadcast rights are not known at this stage.

Has it been announced that Stan has the rights to those games? I’m seeing a lot for the Japan game, NZ vs USA, and nothing for anything else.

yep, given the USA lost to Uruguay (comfortably!) in their direct RWC qualifier last weekend, I’d be stunned if the All Blacks came away with less than 70 on the board.
