Waratahs to have backing of record crowd for Super Rugby finals

The Waratahs will have the backing of a Super Rugby record crowd when they run out at ANZ Stadium tomorrow.

After 19 years of waiting, the NSW faithful have leapt at the chance to be part of history and cheer their state to its first ever Super Rugby title.

The 2014 Super Rugby Final is set to become one of the biggest sporting events in Sydney this year.

With over 50,000 tickets already taken, the Waratahs are confident of surpassing the previous record crowd of 55,000 set in the 2009 final in Pretoria.

With a monster Waratahs-themed pregame celebration planned for Sydney Olympic Park and the whole venue decked in blue, NSW Waratahs coach Michael Cheika is backing the light blue ‘Tahs army to provide the all important home ground advantage come tomorrow night.

With the match taking place just two weeks before the Wallabies host the All Blacks at the same venue, Australians are being urged to put state loyalties aside to get behind the ‘Tahs and start the Bledisloe battle early.

The Waratahs will take on the Crusaders at 9.30pm tomorrow in the Super Rugby final.
