The NSW Waratahs and ACT Brumbies will be out to impress as they battle it out in the last game of Super Rugby Next Gen.

While the Queensland Reds have already wrapped up the title, the match is a crucial opportunity for players to impress before April's U20s TRC.

The Waratahs are boosted by the return of recent Australia Sevens debutant Cooper Watters. Watters, who featured in last year’s Australia U20s campaign and debut in Singapore last month on the SVNS World Series, will line up in the centres alongside Zach Fittler.

Likewise, the Brumbies have made several changes, with impressive fullback  Angus Tagicakibau named to start alongside former Rebel pathways star Ed Lyons in the back-three.

2025 Australian Schoolboys back-rower Oscar Cleary starts for the first time in the competition, while number eight Cooper Eagle once again captains the side.
