‘One of those games that will stick with you for life’: How the Waratahs snapped their record losing streak
@Source: brisbanetimes.com.au
During his nine seasons at the Brumbies, including five as head coach, Dan McKellar took immense pride in being one of the key architects of their sustained dominance over the Waratahs.
On Saturday night, McKellar returned to torment his former employers at Allianz Stadium, not only snapping the Waratahs’ record streak of 13 losses against the Brumbies but breathing vital life back into one of the fiercest rivalries in Australian rugby. Here’s how the Waratahs did it.
Harnessing the hurt
Last week, the Waratahs pack were humiliated in Brisbane by the Reds. McKellar had once been tasked by Stephen Larkham to create the strongest maul in Super rugby at the Brumbies. Years later at the Waratahs, he helplessly watched a rolling maul rumble for 25 metres with only halfback Teddy Wilson hanging on bravely as the Reds crashed over the line.
