They’re on opposing sides of Australia’s most hotly contested TV ratings rivalry.
But when it comes to handing it to the Poms in the Ashes, Sunrise’s Sam Armytage and Today’s Sylvia Jeffreys are on the same team.
Along with Sylvia’s hubby Peter Stefanovic, the trio made the rare decision to cross party lines to enjoy the cricket from their Quantas-provided box.

Taking to her Instagram story throughout the day, Sam shared a selfie of the group, which also included one of her Executive Producers and her Dad, Mac.
While the casts of Sunrise and Today certainly hold no Kyle Sandilands/Rove McManus-style feuds, they’re rarely pictured together.
In April, Sunrise’s Kochie famously labelled the cast of Nine’s rival show ‘a bunch of losers’ after a listener called-in and mistakenly thought they were on the Today show.

In October 2016, after Today claimed it had won the yearly ratings battle, Sunrise reportedly threatened to take Channel Nine to court to dispute the claim.
Meanwhile, the hosts of both shows have generally kept to the occasional sarcastic dig, leaving it up to their networks to fight any of their more serious battles.
And while the rivals are no strangers to engaging in friendly banter when they see each other at industry events, spending a day at the cricket together is unheard of.

Also surprising was clean-shaven Peter Stefanovic, fresh from being roasted on Instagram by wife Sylvia for his unkempt appearance over the holidays.
On Thursday, she took to Instagram to share a before and after of her hubby, who’d finally waved goodbye to his messy hair and bushy ‘holiday’ beard.
The 31-year-old Today personality showed Peter with his beard and without, as he prepared to head back to work.
