SYDNEY (AP) — The Western Force rallied from a 13-0 deficit to beat the New South Wales Waratahs 20-16 in a Super Rugby Australia match on Friday.
It was the Waratahs’ third consecutive defeat, including a 61-10 loss to the ACT Brumbies last week.
The Force trailed by three points at halftime, but blindside flanker Tim Anstee put the visitors ahead with a try after sweeping around the back of a lineout and beating three defenders to charge over in the 54th minute.
The Perth, Western Australia-based Force were reduced to 14 men for the final 15 minutes after replacement forward Andrew Ready was red-carded for punching Hugh Sinclair in the face.
