The Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers are traveling a little less than 8,000 miles to play in Melbourne, Australia. It's the NFL's first regular-season game in Australia and one of the biggest challenges teams have faced for international travel. They approached it differently as well.

The 49ers are the most popular NFL team in Australia, with many fans watching since the Joe Montana-Jerry Rice days.

The 49ers worked out Australian rugby player Ben Te Kura, who has aspirations of becoming an NFL offensive tackle after playing for the Brisbane Broncos.

Alfred Collins went down with a knee injury in Melbourne on Tuesday, and will now miss all of his second season in the league.

The 49ers have already participated in several events, and it's hard to get around town without seeing a team billboard or jersey.

With the San Francisco 49ers traveling to Australia and dealing with a major time change, defensive coordinator Raheem Morris lost his 50th birthday.
