The top-of-the-table NZ Warriors host the Newcastle Knights at Go Media Stadium this Sunday, looking to extend their winning streak further to five. Sam Ackerman and Blake Stothart host the pre-game coverage from 3pm, looking into the stats and odds of the matchup, before Ackerman is joined by Blake Ayshford for expert analysis and Anthony Gelling for sideline comments with kick-off set for 4pm.
The English Premier League continues, with commentary provided by our UK partners talkSPORT, with five matches across Matchweek 2 including Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest.
Mark Watson will be on-air from midday Sunday with The Rugby Run to delve into the All Blacks' second Test against the Springboks as part of their 'Rugby's Greatest Rivalry' tour in South Africa.
