New South Wales Waratahs coach Darren Coleman was left to rue a deflating end to a Super Rugby Pacific season that had shown glimmers of promise only to end with a quarter-final exit at the hands of the Auckland Blues on Friday.

I feel bad for the boys because the naysayers back home will wake up and see that score and think we weren't in it at any point. "If we score one or two of those , we don't leak right on half-time when they got that last try, you may be banging and running around with a bit of energy to keep you in the game longer."
However, the home side underlined their superiority in the early exchanges of the second half to open up a comfortable margin of victory as the Waratahs missed out on a place in the semi-finals.
