Yes, all three games are live on Fox League. Nine has the Women's Test on GEM and the Men's Test on Nine.

Tapine has missed selection for NZ and Horsburgh for the junior Roos. I can only assume the injury played a part for Tapine, otherwise he is very hard done by.

So not live on free to air?

If so its a frikkin joke, on days when no NRL I can usually see an AFL game live on free to air, im getting quite fond of the game, NRL im sure will be losing fans with not only the coverage but also the debacle with refereeing, salary cap being lop sided.

Cant they see Internationals a great way to keep fans that are becoming borderline interested?

No the games Nine and GEM are showing are live. But they’re not showing the Junior Kiwis V Kangaroos.

McGuire ahead of Jake T and Woods ahead of RCG? Big Mal has lost his mind?

I probably wouldn't have Kaufisi in the side either. He was sensational in the Souths or Cronulla game in the finals but pretty average otherwise this season. He may have played well in another game (origin 3 maybe) but very inconsistent this year.

Michael Maguire and Mal Meninga Canberra Raiders friends, but foes when Kiwis meet Roos

It's fair to say Kiwis coach Michael Maguire and Kangaroos counterpart Mal Meninga have history.

"I played footy with him way back in the [Canberra Raiders] days and when his career ended, he came into the coaching ranks," reflects Meninga. "He showed appetite for it and has had huge success."

"Look, you always want to get one up on your teammates," grins Maguire.

The club has to agree to release players for Junior Roos, I doubt we would've risked him when he is already on the edge of Origin. It was a strange selection in the first place.

Instagram shows Cotric vacationing overseas so that would probably also explain it too. (A wild monkey was in his room eating his Oreos )

I think Guler and Horsburgh (sp) will get more out of this match than a guy who’s played 2 full seasons of NRL and is on the verge of rep selection.

Emre Guler and Corey Horsburgh in the thick of the action, one or other involved in just about every tackle of the first set.

3rd min TRY KANGAROOS to Louis Geraghty. It was Australia's first opportunity in the red zone and the Kiwis paid for poor goal line defence. It was a little too easy. Zac Lomax converts.

14th min TRY KIWIS to Sean Mullany. He just scoots out of dummy half, and takes advantage of a small gap, scoring under the posts. Converted.

17th min TRY KIWIS to Isaiah Papali'i. An absolute magic try, Chanel Harris-Tavita throws the ball behind him, and kicks it forward off the back of his heel... regathers... and then throws a magic pass for the try. You have to see it to believe it. Astounding. Converted.

30th min TRY KANGAROOS to Tino Faasuamaleaui. He just steamrolls through, he's huge and he looks quite a bit like Joe Tapine. Zac Lomax converts.

40th min TRY KIWIS to Jackson Ferris. It's scored after the siren. He offloads, it is is then knocked forward by Australia and Ferris regathers and scores! It is freakish! Chanel Harris Tavita can't convert from out wide.
