Holloway rose above the line
Langi Gleeson makes some great footwork to bring NSW closer to the Moana line. Jed Holloway tries to make his way just under the posts but is stopped.
Just a reminder: the Waratahs have only been kept scoreless in Super Rugby once. That happened in April 2018 when the Lions inflicted a 29-0 defeat on the Waratahs in Sydney.

Moana scored 47 seconds into the second half
The Waratahs' woes continued as Moana grabbed another try, this time courtesy of Fine Inisi, just 47 seconds into the second half.
A nice draw and a pass from number 12 Julian Savea puts Inisi on the right edge.
Conversion fails.
Ugly scenes so far for the men in sky blue. It looks like they have already been checked.
Moana 19-0 Waratahs at 42 minutes.
Who wins from here?
Half time stats
Half: Moana 14, Waratahs 0
Just as the Waratahs build more phases (seven this time) Izaia Perese taps.
It's not like the Waratahs are short of ideas, but they just can't find any significant holes in this Moana defensive line.
Jake Gordon has been a shining light for NSW, as he has been most weeks.
The Waratahs season is all but done and dusted. It would be a dead miracle from here.
Moana has been impressive, particularly the back three.

Moana is back
There's a bit of rain around which will make things a little trickier for the Waratahs, who want to throw the ball around today.
boom From behind a scrum, Moana moves the ball to the right and goes 60 meters to score. Fine Inisi finishes the job.
The Waratahs – not for the first time this season – find themselves in an early hole.
Moana 14-0 Waratahs after 28 minutes.
Frustration written on Coleman's face
Darren Coleman looks frustrated in the manager's box. How many times have we said it this season.
The reason? Langi Gleeson has played. In the middle of the field, good pass to him, he dropped it cold.
NSW end up building eight phases but turn around. They just can't get into their rhythm today.
Moana 7-0 Waratahs on 22 minutes.

Danny Toala crosses for Moana
The Waratahs concede the first try of the game, with Danny Toala cutting a gap untouched.
Not great signs for NSW. They must earn a bonus point if they have a chance of playing in a final.
Moana 7-0 Waratahs after 17 minutes
The Moana extremity stretches the hamstrings
Neria Fomai was out and out, but shoots quickly. He's in a bit of pain and looks like he pulled his hamstring.
Moana No.23 Henry Taefu enters.
The home team march down the field and get into a great position before the ball leaves a ruck. Charlie Gamble seems to have turned it around.
A physical contest so far.
Moana 0-0 Waratahs after 13 minutes.
Gordon's goal earns the Waratahs a try
The Tahs suffer a lot early. Winger Dylan Pietsch makes a great break but is brought down to give NSW favorable field position.
After a series of picks and drives close to the line, the Waratahs spread the ball to the left. Lalakai Foketi makes the final pass to Pietsch who dives for a five.
Just wait. Answer the phone. Is there a hit to a ruck? Yes. Jake Gordon approaches the line but clearly loses control. Close to NSW.
Moana 0-0 Waratahs
