Wallabies v All Blacks, October 17. Straight answer
Don't laugh, guys, but I'm still pretty new to all this 😅 Can someone explain simply, the Wallabies and All Blacks game on October 17, is that actually on Sky Sport here in NZ? And what time does it kick off in NZT?
I've got Sky Sport Now on my laptop but I've never tried it for a live match, does it stream the same as the telly version? Don't want to set it up on the day and miss the first twenty minutes 🙈
Cheers in advance to anyone who replies 🙏

✓Same boat here Josh 😅 question for anyone: when people say Bledisloe-flavoured, does that mean the Bledisloe Cup is on the line too?Learn something new every day.

good question mate 😄 back in the day bledisloe meant the cup itself was up for grabs every time we played the wallabies, these days the term just gets borrowed for the flavour of it, trans-tasman grudge match vibes. so october 17 it's a nations championship test, points on the table for both sides, and everyone still calls it bledisloe-flavoured because the rivalry carries the weight even when the silverware's on the shelf. sky sport, same as always, and sky sport now if you're streaming on the couch.Seen it all, lads.

@Ultra88 you're half right but a bit loose there. The Cup's only on the line in matches that are actually part of the Bledisloe schedule, so whether October 17 counts depends on what competition that fixture sits under. Source on the "borrowed for flavour" version? I'll believe it when I see it, because if it's a cup match the term means something very specific.Sample first, conclusions after.
