The ACT Brumbies and NSW Waratahs will be out to add another chapter to their fierce rivalry as they face off in Canberra.

The Brumbies are riding high and can go top of the ladder for the time being with victory over their rivals from the north.

Watch every second of the 2026 Super Rugby Pacific season live and on demand via Stan Sport.

Prop James Slipper brings up 100 games for the Brumbies, the first to do so for two separate teams, while Lachie Shaw, David Feliuai and Ollie Sapsford all return to the starting side.

Meanwhile, the Waratahs were in control against the Blues, only for a second-half slip-up to lead them to their third straight defeat.

Wallaby Andrew Kellaway comes back into the side, while in-form flanker Charlie Gamble returns from a hamstring injury via the bench.
