Sydney, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 18th Mar, 2018 ) :The New South Wales Waratahs scored 41 points in the second half to stun the Melbourne Rebels 51-27 in their Super Rugby clash in Sydney on Sunday.
A week after a demoralising loss to the Jaguares in Argentina, the Waratahs came from 20-3 down in the first half to demolish the previously unbeaten Rebels. The bonus point win gets the Waratahs' season back on track after a draw and a loss in their last two matches.
It also halted the Rebels' momentum following their superb start to the season with three bonus-point victories.
The Waratahs' resurgence was built on the use of the high ball to Israel Folau and Curtis Rona on the wings, with the Rebels unable to cope with the aerial bombardment.
"We were put under a lot of pressure in the first half," NSW captain Michael Hooper said. "We let in some easy tries but we knew something was building and that was our focus at half-time -- to come out and see what we could do under the high ball."
