Welcome to Brookvale Oval where the Waratahs take on the Hurricanes! Last year's Australian conference winners will hope to make good use of their homeground advantage as they take on the Hurricanes, but it won't be easy as the Hurricanes have nine out their last ten games played in Australia. Apart from Kurtley Beale, the Waratahs are fielding a full strength team in this week one clash. It promises to be a big clash. My name is Wade Solomon and I'll be keeping you updated for UltimateRugby!
