QLD Reds v NSW Waratahs Santos Festival of Rugby , 11-12 February 2022

The centrepiece of the festival will once again be a pre-season game between the Queensland Reds and New South Wales Waratahs Super Rugby teams. Playing for the Santos Cup and $25,000 in prizemoney, this is the final chance for the teams to get a hit-out before the newly formed Super Rugby Pacific tournament kicks off.

The Queensland Rugby Union (QRU) has today announced Roma will host the 2022 Santos Festival of Rugby culminating in a pre-season match between the Queensland Reds and New South Wales Waratahs in February 2022.

Following the overwhelming success of this year’s inaugural event in Narrabri, the annual celebration of Rugby heads north to outback Queensland in 2022 as the Reds look to avenge their loss to the Waratahs and claim the Santos Cup with victory over their oldest rivals on home soil.

Hosted by the Roma Echidnas Rugby Union Club and in partnership with Santos and Maranoa Regional Council, the two-day festival will be held between February 11-12 and is set to deliver entertainment for fans both on-and-off the field.

Thank you to the Maranoa Council for their support and the Roma Echidnas Rugby Club for hosting this event.
