In an exciting start to the Super Rugby Pacific season, the NSW Waratahs triumphed over the Queensland Reds with a score of 36-12 in Sydney. This victory was remarkable not only for its scoreline but also for ending a four-match losing streak for the Waratahs against their traditional rivals. The match showcased a strong performance from the Waratahs, particularly highlighting their new forward pack, which played a crucial role in overcoming challenges posed by injuries to key players.

Star winger Max Jorgensen was a standout performer, scoring two tries and demonstrating his skill and potential as a rising star in Australian rugby. The Waratahs’ new signings, including Pete Samu and Clem Halaholo, stepped up significantly, making substantial contributions to the team's physicality and strategy on the field. Leveraging a solid defensive lineup and effective set pieces, the Waratahs were able to impose their game plan against the Reds, capitalizing on their mistakes to secure a convincing win.

This victory not only energizes the Waratahs’ campaign in the Super Rugby Pacific but also serves as a morale booster for the team after a challenging season in the previous year. As they celebrate this win, the focus now shifts to their upcoming match against the ACT Brumbies, where they will aim to build on this momentum and prove themselves as serious contenders this season.
