Former Wallabies coach launches an attack on the Waratahs

Former Wallabies coach Bob Dwyer has launched a attack on the Waratahs in the wake of their loss to the Southern Kings saying large number of NSW players are nowhere near Super Rugby standard.

The Waratahs' season is on life support after they disintegrated against the struggling Kings on Friday going down 26‑24 in what was their sixth loss from eight matches this year.

Dwyer coached the Wallabies to World Cup glory in 1991 and looked after the Waratahs in the early 2000s

In other results, the Sharks and Rebels played out a 9-all, the Crusaders demolished the Stormers with a 57‑24 win in Christchurch and the Highlanders also got their fifth win of the season with a 40‑15 win over Japan's Sunwolves.

The Hurricanes beat the Brumbies 56-21, the Kings beat the Waratahs 26-24, the Lions beat the Jaguares 24-21, the Chiefs defeated Western Force 16 points to 7 and the Bulls defeated the Cheetahs 20-14.
