Queensland Reds are ready to turn the tables and break their Super Rugby drought against bitter rivals the NSW Waratahs when Super Rugby Australia kicks-off tonight.

The Waratahs have dominated the Super Rugby combat between the teams, winning the last 11 contests with Queensland’s last victory in 2013.

The Waratahs called in former NSW State of Origin League captain Paul Gallen for a pep talk while Reds' first five-eighth James O'Connor feels that his side did not need pumping up, or a reminder about their recent record against their traditional foe.

O’Connor says he knows the table has turned as they have a great squad this year.

The tournament opener features many individual match-ups including Wallabies' utility back O'Connor and highly-rated Waratahs player Will Harrison at five-eighth.

The Reds will take on the Waratahs at 9.05 tonight while the Brumbies will face the Rebels at 9.15pm tomorrow.
