It's unorthodox, but GWS coach Adam Kingsley says he won't be stopping his players from checking the Socceroos' World Cup score mid-game against St Kilda.
The Giants face the Saints at Marvel Stadium at 3.15pm (AEST) on Sunday, after the Socceroos take on Turkey at 2pm to kick off their campaign in the Americas.
The 10th-placed Giants (6-6) are fresh off a bye and are hoping to continue momentum after defeating Melbourne in round 12 to nab back-to-back wins for the first time this year.
The 12th-placed Saints (5-8) have lost their past three games, having conceded the match-winner to Sydney's Jai Serong with 14 seconds remaining to lose by two points last round.
While he's far from being flippant about their AFL finals campaign, Kingsley described the World Cup as a "beneficial" little break.
