(Image credit: Warren Little (Left) Cameron Spencer (Right)) Unblock any stream Watch in the U.S. Watch in Canada Watch in the U.K. Watch in Australia Watch in New Zealand Watch in South Africa Springboks vs Wallabies promises to serve as a fascinating 2025 Rugby Championship opener. South Africa obliterated Australia twice at last year's tournament, but it feels like Joe Schmidt's men are on an upwards swing, and even Eben Etzebeth might run into trouble trying to bully the massive Taniela Tupou and Will Skelton. You can watch South Africa vs Australia live streams from anywhere with a VPN. South Africa vs Australia live stream, date, time and channels The South Africa vs Australia live stream takes place on Saturday, August 16. • Time: 11:10 a.m. ET / 8:10 a.m. PT / 4:10 p.m. BST / 1:10 a.m. AEST (Sun.) ► U.S. — FloRugby ► U.K. — Sky Sports ► Australia — Stan Sport ► Watch anywhere — Try NordVPN 100% risk free While South Africa have taken things easy in the lead-up to the tournament, with routine victories over Italy and Georgia, Australia are battle-tested. They lost the Lions series, but they'd entered it as underdogs, were ravaged by injuries, but still came within seconds of a towering upset. They ended the series on a high too, with Nic White conducting a dominant display on what was meant to be his swansong. He loved the experience so much he's done a U-turn. Rob Valetini is still out, as are Noah Lolesio, Tom Lynagh and Jake Gordon, Australia's starting fly-half, No.2 and No.3. Having led the Crusaders to the Super Rugby title, James O’Connor isn't a bad backup to the backup's backup. His opposite number is Manie Libbok, whose backyard style should enhance the spectacle. One thing the Boks do have going for them is the Ellis Park Stadium factor. They possess a 10-1 record against the Aussies at the high-altitude venue, that sole blemish coming way back in 1963.
