NSW Waratahs coach Daryl Gibson will back the attacking instincts of his surging Super Rugby side on their nail-biting run home.

Heading into the last two rounds, the Tahs are level on points with Australian conference leader the Brumbies, who hold top spot because they have one more win.

NSW face a critical match on Saturday at home against the Hurricanes, who are five points ahead of them and hold one of the Australasian group wildcard spots.

The Tahs have produced some dazzling rugby in the two matches either side of the June Test break, running in 15 tries.

They crossed nine times in Saturday's 57‑12 thrashing of the Sunwolves in Tokyo, having posted six‑five pointers against the Chiefs in their previous game.

Their only defeat in their last seven matches was away to the Crusaders, when they played a more defensive game than in their two most recent outings.

The Waratahs will play the Hurricanes at 9.40pm this Saturday while the Crusaders will face the Rebels at 7.35pm.
