The third and final Bledisloe Cup Test at Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin on Saturday will be streamed live online to more than 45 countries, in a strategic move New Zealand Rugby chief executive Steve Tew said would open rugby to a wider global audience.

"The international popularity of the All Blacks on our social media channels is huge, with almost 70% of our three million-strong online community based outside New Zealand," Tew said of the reason behind the decision to stream for the first time a Test live on the All Blacks YouTube channel.

"In terms of world rugby, it doesn't get much bigger than the All Blacks against our traditional rival, Australia. Providing fans from Manhattan to Moscow with an opportunity to watch the final Bledisloe Cup Test of the year supports our goal to showcase the All Blacks in new markets throughout the world and build our global fan base."

The match will also be available on the All Blacks channel as video on demand following the live match.
