The Waratahs 49 finally got their Super 12 act together again to record an 18 point victory over the Hurricanes 31 in Sydney. There was a dodgy period of play from the Tahs after the second half start, but they remained calm and went on to score a total of 7 tries for the match. The Hurricanes collected a bonus point after scoring 4 tries, so both the Tahs and the Canes are still in the hunt.

Over in Jo'burg the Crusaders only just got up over the Cats 39-37 when Daniel Carter kicked a successful last minute penalty goal. The Crusaders had been up 36-6 going into the second half, but the Cats kept on trying and were one point ahead with just five minutes on the clock. Oh boy, what a thriller! The win puts the Crusaders up into 3rd spot on the Super 12 ladder.

The Brumbies sit on the top of the table with 30 points, followed by the Stormers on 28, the Crusaders on 25, and the Sharks on 25 points.

Union fans will no doubt be distressed to hear that Lote Tuqiri is contemplating a return to Rugby League :/ Tuqiri's manager is reportedly setting up meetings with the Broncos.
