Full-time: Moana defeat Waratahs 27-12
Another week, another underwhelming Waratahs performance.
NSW remain on the bottom of the Super Rugby Pacific ladder after a 15-point defeat to Moana Pasifika in the penultimate round of the regular season.
The Waratahs scored a couple of second half tries but were well out of the contest early.
Their 11th defeat from 13 matches this season came just days after coach Darren Coleman was told his services were not required next season.
Faint finals hopes have been extinguished ahead of a final match against the Queensland Reds next Friday in Sydney.

Perese scores a wonderful try
There we go.
Some razzle-dazzle from the Tahs, set up by Izaia Perese.
He gives a long ball to Pietsch who sprints down the left touchline before a cracking pass back to Perese who finishes the try off.
Too little too late. That was one of the Waratahs’ best tries of the season from deep in their own half.

Kepu scores against his old team
Sekope Kepu, the former Waratahs and Wallabies prop, has dived over from short range to extend his side’s lead.
His teammates love it.
NSW winger Mark Nawaqanitawase raced off his wing to try and get an intercept but couldn’t manage to do so.
Another try for the home side who are running away with this in a big way.

Holloway held up over the line
Langi Gleeson pulls out some fancy footwork to get NSW closer to Moana’s line. Jed Holloway tries to barge his way over right under the sticks but is held up.
Just a reminder: the Waratahs have only been kept scoreless in Super Rugby once. That happened in April 2018 when the Lions inflicted a 29-0 loss on the Waratahs in Sydney.
Moana kick a penalty to extend their lead.
Tane Edmed has been hooked, with Jack Bowen coming on at No.10 for NSW.

Moana score 47 seconds into second half
The Waratahs’ woes continue as Moana bag another try, this time courtesy of Fine Inisi, just 47 seconds into the second half.
A lovely draw and pass from No.12 Julian Savea sets up Inisi down the right edge.
The conversion misses.
Ugly scenes so far for the men in sky blue. Looks like they have already checked out.
Moana 19-0 Waratahs after 42 minutes.
Who wins from here?
