The Waratahs continued with their impressive recent form when they secured a 24‑17 win over the Brumbies in their Australian derby last night.
In a tightly contested battle, the Waratahs outscored their hosts two tries to one with Taqele Naiyaravoro scoring both the visitors' five‑pointers and the result means the men from Sydney end a three‑match losing streak against the Brumbies.
The victory moves the Waratahs above the Reds into second position on the Australian Conference table while the Brumbies are still in fourth place. All three sides have played five matches so far – one less than the Rebels, who are at the top of the standings.
In other matches, the Sharks ended a two‑match losing streak when they secured a deserved 63‑40 victory over the Blues at Eden Park while the Bulls beat the Stormers 33‑23 at Loftus this morning.
Meanwhile the Lions will host the Crusaders at 12.30am tomorrow.
