Australia vs Fiji live stream: how to watch today’s Rugby World Cup 2019 match from anywhere

With the Rugby World Cup 2019 now upon us, Australia will be hoping for a bit more consistency, following an indifferent showing in their warm-up games. With plenty of power through the team, Fiji offer a tough start for Australia and are more than capable of pulling off an early shock. We’ll give you the low down on how to get a Australia vs Fiji live stream below, no matter where you are in the world.

Live stream Australia vs Fiji – where and when

This Pool D clash takes place at the Sapporo Dome in Sapporo on Saturday, September 21. The futuristic stadium is normally used for baseball, but can convert Transformers-style, with the grass pitch rolled in from outside the stadium.

The game kicks off at 1.45pm JST local time – that’s an 2.45pm AEST Aussie fans looking to cheer on their side and 5.45am BST for folk tuning in from the UK. 

The Wallabies have only managed ten wins in their last five games, and while a win against New Zealand at home last moth impressed, their erratic recent form was perfectly illustrated by the thrashing handed it out to them by the All Blacks in the return fixture. If they’re to add to their two World Cup titles, the Aussies will need to become more ruthless, starting today with a game that they’ll be expected to win.

Having been handed a tough draw, Fiji know that their qualification for the 2023 World Cup is at stake. They’ve previously made it to the the quarter-finals on two occasions, (back in 1987 and 2007). Placed in a group that also includes Wales and Georgia, should Fiji make out of the Pool phase this time out, it’ll be a huge achievement.

Can the Aussies avoid a shock? You can watch all the action from pretty much anywhere on Earth by following our Australia vs Fiji live stream guide for the Rugby World Cup below.
