Show Preview

The Waratahs get their Super Rugby season underway with a visit to the three-time reigning champion Crusaders. Join The Roar for live scores and a blog of the game from 5:05pm (AEDT).

The Waratahs enjoyed an upset 20-12 win when these sides last played. With both teams undergoing serious upheaval post-World Cup, predicting their fortunes for the 2020 season has proven difficult.

Prediction
The Crusaders are no longer the Harlem Globetrotters of Super Rugby, but they should still have more than enough class to see off the Tahs.

Crusaders 31, Waratahs 13
