The June Program for Foxtel shows live games on the morning of 3 June at 12.30, 2.30 and 4.30. Similar times on 11 June and 16 June with 3 v 4 and final on 21 June at 3am and 4.30 am respectively.
As Aus won't be playing three games on each of the first three days, there will apparently be quite a few other sides also on display.

Congratulations are in order for Vunipola FIFITA (Randwick and NSW U20) who was called up to Tongan squad for the recent Junior Rugby World Trophy in Portugal. Tonga came fourth after they were narrowly beaten in the bronze Medal Match.
I didn't recognise any other names in the Fiji or Tongan squads as being Australian based players, but there may be one or two apart from Fifita.

You reckon they'll play their strongest lineup? It's such a gamble with what to do isn't it?
On one hand you need to keep the best players fresh for the big match vs SA but on the other you need to rack up big scores vs Samoa and Italy so we get enough points to qualify 4th.

I'd suggest they'll go with something like the above, but perhaps they'll play Duncan at 10 or 12 and Nucifora, maybe Kamp and potentially rest Placid

No I don't, as you can read in my above post I distinguish between real toughness and toughness based off a more superficial level ie their looks.
