The NSW Waratahs have won their first game against a New Zealand side in three years, with an epic victory over the Crusaders.
The NSW Waratahs are savouring a win for the ages after lighting up Leichhardt Oval with a rousing 24-21 Super Rugby Pacific victory over the mighty Crusaders.It's the 'Tahs first victory over a Kiwi side since 2019
"Let's do this fast boys, I've got a lot of beer to drink," jubilant Waratahs coach Darren Coleman said at his post-match press conference. Fellow winger Mark Nawaqanitawase also crossed early as the Waratahs stunned the Crusaders to lead 14-0 after only 10 minutes. Gordon wouldn't have been pleased to see No.8 Rahboni Warren-Vosayaco being yellow-carded for illegally holding a player up after a Crusaders penalty try early in the second stanza.
Then the Waratahs took full advantage of their one-man advantage, with a rolling maul penalty try that also led to Crusaders flanker Pablo Matera being yellow-carded. The victory reduced young Waratahs fly-half Tane Edmed — the son of former Balmain Tigers prop Steve Edmed — to tears."I don't know what to say, honestly," Edmed told Stan Sport on the very same ground on which his father made his name 30 years ago.
