The current record is 41,645 achieved back in April 2002 at Allianz Stadium (then Aussie Stadium) against the Brumbies, when NSW recorded a 19-11 regular season match win.

Due to the large crowd, fans are encouraged to get to Allianz Stadium early and take advantage of the entertainment options on offer.

From 5.30pm, kids will love the free skills and drills clinic on offer and the chance to meet some of the Waratahs squad.

Gates open at 5.30pm.
