The Waratahs hosted the Lions at the Sydney Football Ground, Sydney at 10:40 SA Time. This is the match thread for discussion of the game. The game was broadcast on SuperSport 1 on DSTV in SA. The Waratahs really punished a very dismal Lions effort, scoring 11 tries in the process.

It is the 2nd time already this season that the Lions allow 70 points against them and they are now 5 games down from a possible 5.
