 The Illawarra Waratahs
Identifying the Waratahs is a difficult process in itself as there is no ‘list’ of the marchers and newspapers did not always name the men who enlisted along the way.
Thirty one Illawarra Waratahs embarked on the Makarini as reinforcements for the 1 Battalion.
With regard to the occupational base of the Waratahs and Kangaroos, Table 11 shows that it is clear that groups of marchers were predominantly from the working class, with a high proportion of unskilled workers, especially among the Waratahs.

The Waratahs had chances to put the Blues under pressure, but all too often poor handling and ball retention let them down, as it has done all season.
On the Auckland 22 the Waratahs won a line out against the throw, the maul was pulled down, but Burke missed another with a dreadfully mishit kick.
The Waratahs achieved greater continuity but their backs looked tentative, failing to run on to the ball with any conviction.

Slumping NSW was again guilty of failing to seal the deal as the Joe Rokocoko-inspired Blues sent the Waratahs tumbling to a 22-17 defeat, their fourth successive loss.
Adhering to the game plan of NSW coach Ewen McKenzie, Waratahs five-eighth Shaun Berne kicked away much of the visitors' first half possession but their backs were only marginally more threatening when replacement pivot Tim Donnelly took over in the second half.
The Waratahs also paid the price for not consolidating their only lead of the game when veteran centre Matthew Burke rounded off a movement started by a daring spin move and dart down the short side by visiting captain and halfback Chris Whitaker near his own line.

 Waratahs
Waratahs were formed in 1917 and, together with Wanderers and Warriors [see footnote 2], were founder members of the NTFL.
It was more of the same a year later, with the 'Tahs recovering from a shock 6 goal loss to Palmerston Magpies in the 2nd semi to win comfortably a fortnight later, 14.12 (96) to 8.8 (56).
After a disconcertingly long period in the 'wilderness' Waratahs appear to have returned to what all at the club would regard as their rightful position: at the forefront of NTFL football.

The Waratahs showed only touches of brilliance but plenty of character as they overcame the Bulls 23-13 in their Rebel Sport Super 12 semifinal in Sydney to set up a date with the Crusaders in the final.
Let's face it, the play-offs aren't exactly familiar surroundings for either the Waratahs or the Bulls and there was nervousness in the play of both teams, particularly in the first half.
But the Waratahs will need to bring more to the final than they produced at Aussie Stadium if they are to topple the Crusaders in Christchurch on Saturday night for their first title.

The Waratahs showed great patience with the ball in hand, their support play was to notch and their structure as effective as ever.
On the contrary, it was a beaming Waratahs captain Chris Whitaker who said his team had achieved their goal on their two-match South African soil - two victories and two bonus points to boot.
But it was the Waratahs who scored next, when a Cats line-out went pear-shaped and Nathan Grey came sprinting through to collect the bouncing ball and race downfield.

While he was disappointed with the way NSW occasionally turned the ball over in the tackle, McKenzie was pleased with the Waratahs  defence which proved almost impenetrable until Stormers captain and  halfback Neil de Kock crossed their line with 45 seconds to go.
With the Waratahs trailing 3-0 to a penalty from Stormers flyhalf Chris Rossouw, Turinui zipped between the Stormers Springbok centres De Wet Barry and Marius Joubert for the opening try.
