The Waratahs are into the Super Rugby semi-finals after a stunning 30-23 comeback win over the Highlanders.

They face an even greater test this week when they travel to South Africa to take on the Lions, who topped the conference to finish second on the overall ladder and claim home ground advantage. Will they keep their title hopes alive or will the Lions qualify for their third-straight final?

This is The Roar’s guide to streaming the match online and watching it on TV.

The match will be played at Ellis Park Stadium on Saturday, July 28 at 11:05pm (AEST).

It all looked over for Daryl Gibson’s men last week when they trailed the Highlanders 23-6 at halftime.

However, the Waratahs received a massive boost when Highlanders winger Waisake Naholo was sin-binned early in the second half.

The Tahs would go on to score 24 unanswered points, 21 of which came with Naholo off the field.

Meanwhile, the Lions will be desperate for victory this week as they look to claim their first-ever Super Rugby title.
