by Jim Davis - Although the Waratahs' first home game of 2013 isn't until round three against the Rebels, Sydney fans have the chance to see the side in action two weeks beforehand in a trial match against the Canterbury Crusaders at Allianz Stadium on February 14th. In addition to eight home Super Rugby games – including two afternoon matches at Allianz Stadium – the Waratahs host the touring British and Irish Lions giving supporters 10 opportunities to see their side in action. "In 2013, NSW rugby fans will get the best of both worlds – a Super Rugby competition that continues to deliver exciting rugby played by some of the best teams in the southern hemisphere, and a tour by the British & Irish Lions, the very best of the northern hemisphere, that has been 12 years in the making," said Waratahs Rugby CEO Jason Allen. The Waratahs open the year with a trial match against the Rebels
