After 19 long years, it came down to the very last minute
of the 2014 final for the NSW Waratahs to secure their
first ever Super Rugby title. In front of 62,000 fans at ANZ
Stadium – the largest Super Rugby crowd of all time –
flyhalf Bernard Foley slotted a long-range penalty goal to
win an historic final by the closest of margins. The ultimate
reward for a six brilliant months of outstanding rugby from
the transformed Waratahs team.
Captain Michael Hooper heaped praise on all members
of his squad, past and present, for their contribution to
an historic win built on multiple seasons of hard work.
“It’s a weird feeling. A lot of people who have toiled in the
Waratahs jersey for years. I’m really proud they were able to
be part of that tonight,” Hooper said.
Head Coach Michael Cheika praised the fans, “Hearing the
NSW chant definitely made a huge difference... the team
feeds off that energy and that’s what got us over the line...
We weren’t scared to take responsibility. I liked that.”
The finest Super Rugby final in history, re-live every
moment of this historic game!
