Angus Blyth

Experienced flanker Angus Blyth added valuable grit to the NSW Waratahs after joining the Sydney side in 2024 from the Queensland Reds. Born on 4 March 1998, the Australian loose forward arrived with a clear identity: an abrasive, hard-working presence whose strengths lie in the tight, physical exchanges that decide matches. Blyth is best known for his lineout work, where his timing and athleticism make him a useful option both in attack and when contesting opposition ball. Around the field he brings consistent defensive effort, competing at the breakdown and putting in the unseen graft that underpins a competitive pack. His experience across two Super Rugby franchises gives the Waratahs added know-how in the forward exchanges. For a side looking to harden its pack, Blyth's role is clear. He provides set-piece reliability, defensive disruption and the kind of uncompromising attitude that lifts those around him. While his contribution rarely shows up on a highlight reel, his ability to secure possession in the tight phases and contest the breakdown makes him a valued member of the Waratahs' forward unit and a steadying voice among the loose forwards.
