Show Preview
The NSW Waratahs take on the Blues tonight at Leichhardt Oval. Join The Roar for live scores from 7:45pm AEST.
This match has turned into a bit of a tough one for the Waratahs. They’re facing a second string Blues outfit and are clear favourites but if they lose it will create plenty of doubt going into the finals.
The Tahs are in good form though and won their eighth game of the season on Sunday.
If they win tonight with a bonus point they have a chance of moving to fourth on the ladder.
The Blues have rested their entire starting 15 from last weekend before the finals as they can’t be beaten for top spot.
It will be a good chance to test their depth and there’s still some very handy players in the lineup.
Waratahs head coach Darren Coleman has made five changes to his forward pack including a start for Ned Hanigan, and named an unchanged backline to the side for the top four chase.
If the Blues are able to stick with the Waratahs and get close to a victory or even snatch the win they’ll be extremely confident of winning another Super Rugby title.
