Canada have been one of the standout teams in the tournament so far, looking imperious in their victories over Fiji, Wales and Scotland. They scored 23 tries in Pool B, with full-back Julia Schell (one of the tournament’s top scorers) grabbing six of them against Fiji. Australia have had a rather more challenging route to the quarter-finals, following-up an opening weekend blowout against Samoa with a draw in a thriller against the United States. And although they eventually lost 47-7 to World Cup favourites England last weekend, they gave the Red Roses a scare in the first half. In other words, this is anything but a foregone conclusion.
This in-depth guide explains where to find live streams and TV channels for Saturday’s game wherever you are in the world – including free options if you live in the UK or Australia. We’ve also got details of how you can use a VPN to follow the action if you’re away from home, and you’ll find team line-ups and officials at the end of the article.
Are there any free Canada v Australia live streams?
Yes, there are several free options to watch Canada v Wallaroos live streams around the world, including:
- United Kingdom: Every match of the Women’s Rugby World Cup is available for free courtesy of the BBC. You can watch Canada v Australia on both terrestrial channel BBC Two and BBC iPlayer. The service is free to use but you need a current TV Licence to stream live television in the UK. You also need to complete a simple registration.
- Australia: Like every Wallaroos game (and the final), this Women’s Rugby World Cup fixture will be available on the 9Now streaming service. You can also watch on old-school terrestrial TV via Channel 9.
If you’re a UK or Australia resident travelling overseas this weekend you can still watch your usual streaming service with the help of a good VPN. Find out more below.
Stream Canada v Wallaroos from anywhere
On vacation or working overseas right now? Geo-blocking means that you might not be able to watch your usual streaming services. Luckily, there is a way to ensure you don’t miss out on the Canada v Australia action as it happens.
By changing your IP address, a VPN (or Virtual Private Network) can make your device – whether it’s a laptop, smartphone or tablet – appear to be back home in your home country. This means that you can tune into Women’s Rugby World Cup fixtures even if you’re on the other side of the world. As an extra bonus point, VPNs can also improve your online security.
There are plenty of VPNs on the market but the tech experts at TechRadar and Tom’s Guide reckon that NordVPN is the best.
