The Crusaders are wary of a wounded Waratahs when they lock horns for the second time this Super Rugby Pacific season, tonight in Sydney

The Crusaders are wary of a wounded Waratahs when they lock horns for the second time this Super Rugby Pacific season, tonight in Sydney

12 April 2024

The Waratahs' only win of the season came against the Crusaders in Super Round at Melbourne.

They've beaten the defending champions three times in the last five years - they're the only Australian side the Crusaders have lost to since 2017.

Stand-in Crusaders captain Tom Christie isn't quite sure what makes them such a tricky proposition.

Kickoff is at 9.35 tonight - we'll have live commentary on Gold Sport and iHeartRadio.

Moana Pasifika host the Reds in Whangarei from five past seven.
