Okay, here are all your basics. The game is due to start at 8.10pm (AEST), apparently, and as we’ll hear shortly from Dr Dre, the foul weather predicted seems to holding off.
The game is being played at HBF Park tonight, home of the Western Force, and not Optus Stadium. It looks like it’s another sell-out.
Here are the teams, and the refereeing team. Let’s hope we don’t have to mention their names too much, but sorry to be the bearer of bad news, you can expect a few interventions from TMO Marius van der Westhuizen. That’s just how he rolls.
Ridley was the referee for the Wallabies-Argentina game in Sydney last year, and he didn’t endear himself to either side.
