This has been one of the most entertaining half's of Super Rugby this year. Both teams very willing to run the ball from anywhere on the park. Some of the very few negatives from the half have perhaps been the Waratahs lineout as well as the Canes handling errors inside the Waratahs 22m, and of course, the major opportunity lost when Rob Horne lost the ball over the try line before half time. Its all square at halftime in tonight's match.

The Tahs put in a beautifully weighted grubber into the corner, Rob Horne had plenty of time and space to gather it and score but somehow he loses it forward. The ref brings them back for a penalty in front of the poles.
