The Wallabies have found a new home for the international autumn series - SBS. 

SBS announced in early November that it secured the exclusive free-to-air rights to three Wallabies matches from the 2016 Autumn Internationals rugby union series.

Having televised Australia's nail biting two-point victory over France on Sunday morning, the tour will continue on Sunday 27 November when Australia takes on Ireland at Dublin's Aviva Stadium, shown live on SBS at 4.15am AEDT.

The Wallabies will then take on fierce rivals England at Twickenham Stadium in London, and fans can watch the match live on SBS from 1.25am AEDT on December 4.

The matches will be live, free and available in HD on SBS, as well as streamed live online via SBS On Demand.

This Autumn Internationals series has already seen the Irish team break an 111-year drought with their first-ever win against the All Blacks, and the Wallabies claim victory in Cardiff, defeating the Welsh team 32-8.

"Globally, sport is recognised as a way to bring people and communities together – not to mention it is also very much a part of Australia’s DNA," SBS Director of Sport Ken Shipp said.

"These matches are a great addition to SBS’s already strong summer sporting line up - which includes the Premier league, A-League, and the NBL.”
