A standard rugby match between New Zealand and South Africa typically lasts about 80 minutes, excluding stoppages and halftime.

Estimated Duration: 1 hours

A rugby union match consists of two 40-minute halves with a 10-15 minute halftime break. Including stoppages for injuries, substitutions, and other delays, the total viewing time is usually around 1.5 to 2 hours. Watching live broadcasts may extend this due to pre-match analysis and post-match commentary. For recorded matches, you can skip breaks and watch just the gameplay in about 80 minutes.
