THE New South Wales Waratahs defended furiously to shut down the Queensland Reds' attacking machine and march to an emphatic 30-6 victory in their Super rugby match in Sydney yesterday.
The Waratahs charged to an 11-0 lead within 10 minutes and scored two tries after the break to notch their seventh straight win over their arch-rivals at Olympic Stadium.
"When we got out opportunities we converted pressure into points and it was just pleasing," Waratahs skipper Phil Waugh said. "It was important to take points out of the opposition 22 when we got down there... but there's still things to work on which is pleasing as well."
The Reds, whose Wallaby playmakers Will Genia and Quade Cooper were subdued for much of the contest, lifted their intensity in the last quarter but any promising drives were halted at the 22-yard line by a fumble or ferocious tackle.
The Reds' woes were further compounded by an ankle injury to captain James Horwill, who hobbled off the field in the first half, while lock Ben Daley came off clutching his hand after the break.
The Waratahs were coming off a 43-point trouncing of newcomers the Melbourne Rebels.
