After another heartbreak, this time in Fiji, the Waratahs return home with their season on the line against the Rebels.

After a third consecutive narrow defeat, the Waratahs return from Fiji with their Super Rugby season on the line in a must-win game against the Rebels on Saturday.

“Jeez, that’s out of our hands a little bit,” Hanigan said. “We just need to keep performing for him, the coaches and the people that mean plenty to us, our fans. The Waratahs had a golden opportunity to win the game with a drop goal in extra time from five-eighth Tane Edmed, but it hit the upright and soon after the Drua made them pay when the boot of Kemu Valetini clinched the Fijian side’s first win over the Waratahs.The Rebels have had a mixed season on the field with two wins against Moana Pasifika and the Force, but on Friday lost by 26 points to the Hurricanes in New Zealand.
