Waratahs confirm replacements for Semi-final

Waratahs coach Michael Cheika has finalised his replacements for their must-win Super Rugby Semi-final match against interstate rivals the Brumbies on Saturday night at Allianz Stadium.

Cheika has narrowed down the extended bench to name the eight replacements for the match that could result in the Waratahs hosting the Super Rugby final if they beat the Brumbies.

Over 38,500 tickets have already been snapped up and less than 5,000 tickets remain for this massive knockout derby clash.

With good weather forecast and plenty of pre-match entertainment from 5.30pm, fans are urged to buy their tickets quickly to ensure the best available seat and to get down early on gameday.

The new on-site Sydney Live plaza will be showing the Crusaders v Sharks semi live and in full on the big screen, kick off at 5.30pm AEST.
