The Lions edged ahead with a penalty, with the Waratahs then picking up a yellow card. The Lions capitalized immediately with a try for an eight point advantage heading into the final quarter of the match. Shortly after, the Lions crossed for their fifth try to take control of the game at 34-19. A penalty extended the hosts lead to 18 points, but the Waratahs hit back with try to make it 37-26. However, there was time for a late Lions try which sealed their place in the Super Rugby Final, where they will travel to take on the Crusaders.
