Super Rugby 2025 LIVE updates: Waratahs stretch lead against the Brumbies

There were 2000 children tonight in the stadium from junior clubs all over NSW and what a game they have in front of them.

The game started slow and steady with the Brumbies opting to take the pragmatic approach with two early penalties through Noah Lolesio.

So far, the script was as most people expected. Then the Waratahs completely ripped it up, three tries through Teddy Wilson, Triston Reilly and Rob Leota have given a 15-point lead at halftime.

There is huge physicality in this contest with both sides trading shots. The Brumbies may have 13 successive wins stretching all the way back to 2018, but this rivalry is far from dead.
