The NSW Waratahs are back on track in the Super Rugby under 19 men’s series after rebounding from a heartbreaking loss in round one.
The Tahs young guns came out firing in their battle with the Melbourne Rebels in round two of the series in Melbourne and came up with a vital 57 point win.
There were three two-try guns in the must-win match which has proved the Tahs are still a major force for the overall title this season despite their heartbreaking last-minute loss to the ACT Brumbies in round one.
Nacani Batidravu, Archie Tancred and captain Jullien Caillol all scored twice in the 62-5 thumping in Melbourne.
Others try scores in the match were Ben Di Staso, Harry Davis, Omar Noureddine and Archie Saunders as the Waratahs outplayed the Rebels 10 tries to one.
Oliver Schmude converted six.
Spencer Ioelu was the only try scorer for the Melbourne Rebels.
The next outing for the Waratahs is against their traditional rivals, the Queensland Reds, on October 15.
