The Waratahs outscored their hosts two tries to one with Israel Folau crossing for both his side's five‑pointers.

The win means they are still in third place on their conference table while the Reds are still at the bottom of the Australian standings.

Meanwhile, the Highlanders meet the Force at 6.35pm Friday.
