Rugby - Late Foley miss hands Hurricanes narrow win over Waratahs


SYDNEY (Reuters) - New South Waratahs flyhalf Bernard Foley had a bittersweet start to the new Super Rugby season when he missed a simple late penalty chance to see his side slip to a 20-19 loss to the Wellington Hurricanes at the Brookvale Oval on Saturday.

Foley had earlier become the Waratahs' record points-scorer in Super Rugby, but could not win the game for his team after they were awarded a scrum penalty two minutes from time.
