The NSW Waratahs squad for the 2026 Swyftx Super Rugby Pacific season has been announced.
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.
Fellow NSW recruits Pete Samu and Harry Potter will check in following the completion of their current Wallabies commitments.
Waratahs head coach Dan McKellar expressed his satisfaction with the club's retention and recruitment heading into the 2026 season.
"I'm very pleased with the quality of the squad we've assembled for the upcoming season," he said.
"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.
"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.
"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."
