HISTORIC SUPER RUGBY CLASH ENDS IN WARATAHS LOSS
History was made in Newcastle on Friday night, the city hosting its first Super Rugby match.
But there was another first that the Waratahs will be hoping to forget.
The Sunwolves posting their maiden win on Australian soil.
The soon-to-be-axed Japanese side holding on for a 31-29 triumph.
Also spoiling the homecoming for Novocastrian Harry Johnson-Holmes.
“Bring the debut for Super Rugby outside of Sydney, we were hoping to put on a better performance than that,” said the Wanderers junior.
The crowd figure was well short of the 15,000 they were aiming for.
