The NSW Waratahs squad for the 2026 Swyftx Super Rugby Pacific season has been announced.<\/p>\n
The pre-season officially kicked off at Daceyville this week with new signings Angus Blyth, Ioane Moananu, George Poolman and Jack Debreczeni pulling on Waratahs kit for the first time.<\/p>\n
Fellow NSW recruits Pete Samu and Harry Potter will check in following the completion of their current Wallabies commitments.<\/p>\n
Waratahs head coach Dan McKellar expressed his satisfaction with the club’s retention and recruitment heading into the 2026 season.<\/p>\n
“I’m very pleased with the quality of the squad we’ve assembled for the upcoming season,” he said.<\/p>\n
“We’ve retained a strong core of experienced campaigners, complemented that with some key recruits, and provided an opportunity to some exciting talent from the Waratahs pathways.<\/p>\n
“The depth we’ve built in every position will create genuine competition for starting spots and help drive our club’s standards, on and off the field.<\/p>\n
“Waratahs members and fans deserve a team that will fight hard for them every time they take the field, and that is what we are setting out to do in 2026.”<\/p>\n
