Reds v Waratahs

One of Australian rugby’s classic rivalries takes center stage in the 2026 Super Rugby Pacific season as the Queensland Reds host the NSW Waratahs at Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane, on Saturday, 14 March. With pride, momentum, and crucial competition points on the line, this derby promises passion and intensity.

The Reds will look to make home advantage count at Suncorp Stadium, where their high-tempo, attacking style often flourishes. Known for athletic forwards, strong breakdown presence, and creative backline play, the Brisbane-based side will aim to control possession and stretch the Waratahs’ defense with pace and precision.

The Waratahs arrive in Brisbane determined to spoil the party. Renowned for their physicality, structured approach, and growing attacking confidence, the Sydney-based outfit will look to impose themselves through set-piece strength, disciplined defense, and smart territorial kicking.
