The news didn't get better for the beleaguered Australian conference when South Africa's Southern Kings upset the New South Wales Waratahs for the first time 26-24 at Sydney. The Waratahs led 17-7 at halftime but the Kings fought back to hand New South Wales its sixth loss in eight matches. The Brumbies lead the conference, but have won only three of eight games. At Sydney, the Waratahs looked on track for a bonus-point win after leading 17-0 lead with three first-half tries. But the Kings scored 26 consecutive points before the Waratahs earned an after-the-siren bonus point with a consolation try to Taqele Naiyaravoro.
