Show Preview
The NSW Waratahs host the Crusaders in Wollongong as Round 3 of Super Rugby Trans-Tasman continues. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 3:05pm (AEST).
The New Zealand sides have defeated their Australian opponents in all 11 match-ups so far this Trans-Tasman season, and the Tahs lost every one of their eight Super Rugby AU clashes too.
So it’s little surprise that the oddsmakers give NSW virtually no chance of becoming the first Aussie team to register a win over a NZ side this afternoon.
The task gets even harder with Scott Barrett returning to captain the Aotearoa champions, while the Tahs have made a string of changes to the line-up that has bled 112 points across the first two weeks of the Trans-Tasman comp.
Kick-off: 3:05pm (AEST)
Venue: WIN Stadium, Wollongong
Live stream: Stan Sport
Betting: Crusaders $1.01, Waratahs $23 (odds via PlayUp)
