The NSW Waratahs beat the Melbourne Rebels on Saturday in a gruelling tussle to claim a 38-32 victory at the Leichhardt Oval on Saturday.

The Waratahs scored five tries through Harry Johnson-Holmes, Jack Dempsey, Will Harrison, Jake Gordon and Joey
Walton while fly-halve Harrison was in fine form with the boot on the night.

However, both the New South Wales outfit and the Rebels will have to wait until next week to find out which side will secure a place in the playoffs.
