MELBOURNE (Reuters) - The New South Wales Waratahs will look to shrug off their dire record in New Zealand and become the third Australian team to win there this season when they kick off the seventh round of Super Rugby Pacific against the Wellington Hurricanes on Friday.

Bolstered by former Melbourne Rebels players after the collapse of Australia's fifth team, the Sydney-based Waratahs have motored to a 4-1 start under new coach Dan McKellar, doubling their win count from a miserable 2024 season.
