Knox defended their line stoically in the final minutes and held on to claim a 35-30 victory over Waverley to set up a CAS ‘decider’ next weekend against Barker.

A week after falling just short against Barker at Queens Park, Waverley started the better of the two sides and led 17-3 after 15 minutes following tries to winger Josh Ballard and scrumhalf Hugo Schneider.
