"Cricket ground" - England vs Australia third test stadium: Venue and capacity

Australia played its first ever match of Test Rugby at the SCG in 1899 against the British Isles, and with the impending opening of the neighbouring Allianz Stadium, it is likely that Saturday night’s clash will be the last at the birthplace of International Rugby in Australia.

Fittingly, the match is sold out – the first time the Wallabies will play in front of a full capacity sell-out in Australia since the 2019 Bledisloe Cup clash in Perth, with more than 40,000 spectators to watch the Ella-Mobbs Cup being presented for the first time to the winning captain.

In the UK, Sky Sports have the rights to broadcast all three matches of England’s summer test series in Australia.

The second test will be shown on Sky Sports Main Event (Sky channel 401) and Sky Sports Action (Sky channel 407) from 10:15am.

Sky customers can watch all the action on TV or online and on mobile devices via the SkyGo or Now TV apps which can be downloaded from most mainstream app stores.
