Waratahs Stun Brumbies in Canberra

0:00It's March 27th, this is Sydney News Today, powered by AI. The New South Wales Waritas pulled off a big upset with a 30-28 win over the ACT Brumbies in Canberra. It marked their first victory there in nine matches, snapping a long losing streak against their rivals. The Waritas jumped out to a strong early lead, but the Brumbies fought back hard in the second half to tie things up. In the end, three late penalties kicked by 20-year-old Sid Harvey, gave the visitors the edge they needed to hold on. Waritas coach Dan McKellar called the win a special moment for the team, especially after struggling in that tough venue before. Brumbies coach Steven Larkham took the blame, saying their training week might have been too intense and carried over into the game. Standout plays included a try from Winger Andrew Kellaway in his second game of the season, plus scores from Clim Hallaholo and Joey Walton early on. Before the Brumbies, Lashishah grabbed two tries, but they couldn't quite close it out.
