Waratahs v Brumbies

One of Australian rugby’s fiercest rivalries takes center stage as the NSW Waratahs host the Brumbies at Allianz Stadium, Sydney, on Friday, 22 May, in the 2026 Super Rugby Pacific season. With pride, history, and vital competition points on the line, this Friday night derby promises intensity and high-quality rugby.

The Waratahs will look to make home advantage count at Allianz Stadium. Known for their structured play, set-piece strength, and improving attacking cohesion, the Sydney-based side will aim to control territory and tempo while applying pressure through disciplined defense and smart kicking.

The Brumbies arrive in Sydney as one of the competition’s most consistent teams. Renowned for their dominant rolling maul, tactical discipline, and strong defensive systems, the Canberra-based outfit will seek to impose themselves up front and capitalize on scoring opportunities through precision execution.
