Waratahs remain unbeaten ahead of Super W finals
By AAP
The NSW Waratahs will march into the Super W semi-finals with their unbeaten record intact after rolling the Rebels 29-0 in their last round clash in Melbourne.
The table-topping Waratahs have set themselves up for a final four assault at Concord Oval in Sydney on April 30, running in five tries in their Friday night clash at AAMI Park.
Queensland currently hold down second place with three teams - 2022 champions Fijiana Drua, the Western Force and Brumbies - still in the scramble for the other two play-off spots.
Currently sitting fourth, the Force are two points clear of the Brumbies who they host on Saturday night.
Melbourne have finished without a win but showed their improvement through the season to hold the rampant Tahs to 24 points.
They trailed 12-0 until just before halftime when debutante winger Jacinta Windsor showed her pace to dash 60m in and around the defence to score.
NSW's early tries came after hooker Katalina A mosa mauled the ball across the line to open the scoring and then Wallaroos No.8 Grace Hamilton powered over from a five-metre scrum.
Waratahs halfback Tatum Bird had a busy game while Test centre Georgina Friedrichs was a constant threat.
Starved of possession and territory in the first half, the Rebels were constantly on the back foot and incurred 11 penalties.
But they settled into the match after the break with Wallaroos hooker Ash Marsters leading the way with some big hits.
They showed heart to regularly repel the visitors in the second half, even while down a player after prop Laiema Bosenavulagi was yellow carded.
The hosts held the Waratahs out until the 75th minute when a clearing kick by Rebels centre Wasie Toolis was charged down by Iliseva Batibasaga, who turned and pounced on the ball in the in-goal.
Speedster Maya Stewart then iced the win in the dying minutes after a spectacular team try that stretched 60 metres .

Sharks players not accurate but a far bigger problem is the useless coaching set up. Tactically so naive. Running the ball from all quarters against a rush defence in humid conditions is just dumb. Simon Zebo said yesterday that if Rassie Erasmus coached the Sharks they would be the best team in Europe. They have a huge talent pool but terrible coaches.
Leinster were quite brilliant - especially on defence. They remind me very much of the 2019 Boks - kick, chase, defend like demons, force opponents into mistakes and strike off turnover ball. Will be intriguing to see how they go the rest of the season, especially against the French giants in the Champions Cup. They have the best defence in Europe but has that come at the expense of a cutting edge on attack? Having a Nienaber-esque defensive mindset against Toulouse and Bordeaux Begles won’t work.
