SYDNEY: Bernard Foley scored 16 second-half points as the New South Wales Waratahs produced a controlled second 40 minutes to stay in contention for the Australian conference title with a 23-20 win over the Melbourne Rebels in Super Rugby on Saturday.
Adam Ashley-Cooper also scored a try for the Waratahs who were playing their first game since a furore broke out over controversial social media posts by Israel Folau, who faces a code-of-conduct hearing after he said gay people would go to"hell" if they did not"repent". Both sides appeared to have issues with a slippery ball with numerous handling errors interrupting the flow of the game.After Quade Cooper landed a 13th-minute penalty to give the Rebels a 3-0 lead, Ashley-Cooper scored the first try of the match when the Waratahs centre ran a line back across the defensive screen and scored virtually untouched.
Hodge's try on the cusp of halftime was also from a similarly confused situation when Rebels winger Marika Koroibete appeared to have interfered with a defender in the air but Murphy allowed play to continue and the fullback ran in untouched.
