Good afternoon, it’s Jonathan Drennan and it’s my pleasure to bring you the final round of the regular season of Super Rugby today, with the Waratahs taking on the Blues at fortress Eden Park.
The bookmakers are not on side with NSW, with the odds as high as nine dollars against the men in sky blue and it’s not difficult to see why.
The Blues have won the last ten matches against the Waratahs, with NSW only winning once in their whole history at Eden Park, which was back in 2009 with current Rugby Australia chief executive Phil Waugh captaining the side.
Last Saturday, the Waratahs got their first win on the road this season against the Force in extra-time, with Darby Lancaster finishing spectacularly in the corner.
Today is a day for the true believers. If the Waratahs win at Eden Park today they also need the Hurricanes to beat Moana Pasifika in Wellington to steal that elusive 6th place.
The Waratahs have absolutely nothing to lose here and stranger things have happened than a NSW win against the odds this season.
