SYDNEY (Reuters) - The New South Wales Waratahs will mark 10 years since their only Super Rugby title when they take on the Canterbury Crusaders on Friday night but the atmosphere will be decidedly downbeat compared to the heady days of 2014.

Australia's best-resourced team heads into the fixture with just one win from seven matches this season - against the Crusaders in Melbourne in round two - and third-year coach Darren Coleman fighting to keep his job.

Wallabies lock Jed Holloway, a non-playing junior squad member when the Waratahs beat the Crusaders to win the title a decade ago, said the season was on the line against the New Zealanders at Sydney Football Stadium.
