The Roosters are the reigning NRL champs and they've definitely looked up for defending their crown again this year. In 2019, they made history by becoming the first team to win back-to-back NRL titles. Can they pull off a three-peat? Not if the Rabbitohs have anything to do with it.

The rivalry dates back to the foundation of both clubs in 1908 as part of the now defunct New South Wales Rugby Leage, or NSWRL. Over the years, the Bunnies have won a total of 21 premierships, putting them ahead of the Roosters. But in the NRL, it's the Tri-Colors who lead the way with four titles compared to the Rabbitohs' single championship.

In 2019, the Rabbitohs had the upper hand over the Roosters in the regular season, but the Easts delivered when in counted in the qualifying final and beat their rivals by a dominant score of 30-6. 

Who knows what drama today's match will bring, but it's safe to say it'll give the winning side considerable momentum for the rest of the regular season.

How to watch the Roosters vs Rabbitohs from outside your country

Aussies abroad (and there are a fair few of you!) may encounter geo-blocking when trying to access your normal domestic coverage online. In fact, the same applies to anybody who find themselves overseas and tries to watch their home feed. But there's a solution: when this is the case, the simplest and most reliable fix is to use a VPN service to change your IP address to a different location. 

This will generally let you tune in to your local coverage, just as you would from home, and means you don't have to trawl the sketchier corners of the internet for an illegal stream.
