Both these teams lost their first game and will want to get their season back on track. The Waratahs are playing at home against a team that on paper is one of the best, but could not convert their great start to a win. The Blues is a great team and if they can just play for 80 minutes and not just 50 they will be able to win some of the best teams in the competition. The Waratahs faced arguably the best team in their previous round and they did not stand a chance. They will be hard to face this round if they can play to their full potential.

- Tom Robertson

My Prediction:
I Believe that the Blues will win this game with a comfortable margin. The Waratahs is not the best team in the comp and the Blues will look to get a big win under their belt and get their campaign of the ground.
