Gavin Rich takes a look at the Waratahs' place in the Super 14 standings heading into the final weeks on Supersport.
"While the Stormers and Crusaders tripped up this past weekend, the Waratahs came back from their bye week to see off a concerted but ultimately in vain Brumbies challenge in Sydney. They didn’t pick up a bonus point, but the win was enough to move them to within one point of the three teams jammed together in places two to four.
"The Stormers are second thanks to the lucky bonus point they picked up when the TMO in Brisbane ruled no try to what looked a perfectly legitimate score from Reds captain Will Genia.
"But they are only there thanks to a superior points differential, which means it is an insignificant advantage as the Cape team head into a tough three match sequence featuring matches against the Crusaders, Sharks and Bulls."
