Rugby Australia chief executive Phil Waugh invited the couple, and staff completed a security walk-through before the Super Rugby Pacific clash.
- Rugby Australia chief executive Phil Waugh will host Prince Harry and wife Meghan Markle in a private suite at Friday's Super Rugby Pacific clash between the New South Wales Waratahs and Moana Pasifika at Allianz Stadium.
- Prince Harry previously celebrated England's 2003 Rugby World Cup triumph in Sydney, where Waugh, then Wallabies vice-captain, narrowly failed to stop Jonny Wilkinson's winning drop goal at Stadium Australia.
- The Sussexes are expected to welcome Invictus Games colleagues to the stadium, as the Waratahs attempt to recover from a 42-14 loss to the Chiefs in their previous match.
- Staff completed a security walk-through at Allianz Stadium last Friday to ensure the couple's safety, following their arrival in Melbourne on Tuesday for a privately-funded visit to Australia.
- This match occurs exactly 18 months before Australia hosts the follow-up Rugby World Cup in October 2027, with preparations already underway to welcome international teams back to the country.
