like Test players at present.
WE THINK: It's make-or-break time for both teams but based on recent form the Waratahs should be far too strong for a Sharks side that has scored one try in three games so far this campaign. After being panned in the South African press all week, the visitors are sure to come out fired up and will more than likely be within striking distance with 20 minutes to go but the Waratahs will get home by about 10 points in the end.
