The NSW Waratahs, desperate for a win, welcome the ACT Brumbies to the SCG to kick off the Super Rugby AU Round 7 frivolities. Join The Roar for live scores from 7:45pm (AEDT).

Following a week in which former head coach Rob Penney was controversially sacked, infuriating fans, the Waratahs are crying out for a win, or at least something that resembles good news.

They’re chained to the floor of the ladder at the moment, the only Super Rugby team in either Australia or New Zealand without a victory this season. Unfortnately, things don’t look as if they’ll be any easier tonight.

The Brumbies have just the one defeat to their name in 2021 – a nailbiter to the Reds a few weeks ago – and they come into tonight after pantsing the Force last time out.

Dan McKellar has also been given some welcome news on the injury front, with star winger Tom Wright and back-rower Tom Cusack both passed fit to play after overcoming knee and shoulder troubles respectively. They both come straight back into the starting XV tonight.

There’s at least some similar good news for the Waratahs. Captain Jake Gordon hasn’t appeared since the season opener in February, courtesy of a high ankle sprain, but has been cleared to play ahead of schedule. Such is the importance of the skipper that he’s been put straight back into the run-on side by interim coaches Chris Whitaker and Jason Gilmore.
