The Australia vs South Africa rugby Test match is available to watch for free on 9Now, an Australian streaming service.

How to Watch the Match from Outside Australia Using a VPN
If you are outside Australia—whether in the US, UK, Canada, or elsewhere—you can still watch the game for free by using a Virtual Private Network (VPN). A VPN lets you connect to an Australian server, making it appear as though you are browsing from Australia and thus allowing access to 9Now.
Here’s how to do it:
- Install a reliable VPN service; NordVPN is highly recommended for its speed, security, and ability to unblock streaming services.
- Open the VPN app and select an Australian server (such as Perth).
- Once connected, visit the 9Now website or app and log in or sign up using an Australian postcode.
- Enjoy the live stream of the rugby Test match as if you were in Australia.

Practical Tips and Considerations
To ensure a smooth streaming experience, make sure your VPN is connected before accessing 9Now. Signing up for 9Now requires an Australian postcode, which you can easily find online. VPN services often offer limited-time discounts and free trial periods—taking advantage of these can help you watch the match without additional cost.
Bear in mind that streaming quality depends on your internet speed and VPN server performance, so choose a server with low latency. Finally, always use VPNs and streaming services within their terms of service and applicable laws.
