Loose forward Wycliff Palu scored a last-minute try to give 14-man New South Wales Waratahs a 30-28 victory over the Queensland Reds in their Super 14 match in Brisbane Saturday.

Caldwell spent time in the blood bin and returned with his right index finger bandaged. In New Zealand, Flyhalf Daniel Carter kicked 12 points as the Canterbury Crusaders beat the Otago Highlanders 32-17. In Durban, Stephen Donald kicked a penalty after the final siren Saturday to give Waikato Chiefs a 19-18 win over the Sharks. In Johannesburg, Joe Pietersen and Jaque Fourie scored first-half tries to lead the Stormers to a 26-13 victory over the Lions.
