Every game from the Rugby Championship 2023 will be broadcast live and exclusive on Nine and the Stan Sport sports streaming service. Stan sport costs as little as $10/month and is only available as an add-on alongside a standard Stan Subscription. All of The Wallabies games will go out on free to air (Nine), with all fixtures available on Stan Sport live or later on demand.

Stan’s venture into International and Domestic Rugby is also backed up by a stellar commentary team that will appease both new and seasoned fans of the game. Roz Kelly and Nick McArdle will share presenting duties, with Sean Maloney and Andrew Swain calling the games. They will be assisted every week by former players including Tim Horan, Morgan Turinui, Drew Mitchell and All-Black legend Andrew Mehrtens.

Even though you need a Stan subscription to be able to access Stan Sport, the latter does come with a 30-day free trial which is ideal for watching Super Rugby. If you’re not an existing customer, you can get both Stan and Stan Sport free for 30 days to see if it’s worth it in the long run.
