Somehow, the NSW Waratahs' finals aspirations are still alive after a 90th-minute winner against the Western Force in Perth.
Darby Lancaster was the hero, finishing magically in the corner to snatch the win and keep them in the hunt for another week.

So what did we learn?
Darby Lancaster has ensured his place in Waratahs folklore with a special Super Time try.
Lancaster came in late for the Waratahs after Andrew Kellaway’s late withdrawal and produced a special extra-time finish to snatch the win for the visitors.
The special aerobatics looked set to be taken off him, but common sense from the TMO prevailed to award a special effort.
Jamie Adamson and Jack Bowen were excellent in building up to the try, creating the space and break.
It keeps the Waratahs slim hopes alive and sets up an elimination match with the Blues next week.
Simon Cron and the Force must be wondering what more they had to do to secure that win.
Cron’s side had a couple of penalty efforts to win the game but found themselves on the other end of how their season started - watching a last minute spectacular individual effort end their hopes of victory.
The Force’s defence held strong in the loss and looked to have done enough to earn a draw at least.
However, it wasn't meant to be, as they were left to stew on the loss for a month before facing the British & Irish Lions.
The final round of the regular season is set to be an absolute belter, with every game potentially having an impact.
The Waratahs’ win sets up a shoot-out with the Blues should Moana Pasifika lose to the Hurricanes.
On Friday, the Crusaders and ACT Brumbies are likely to fight for a top-two spot, with the Chiefs favourites to take care of the Highlanders earlier in the evening.
With so much to play for, it adds another notch to Super Rugby’s claims to be the world's best club competition.
Carlo Tizzano ensured his place in history with the single-season try-scoring record for a forward,
Tizzano made it 13 for the year as he found space down the short side for a big try amid a slow start.
The flanker’s tries might not be long-range efforts, but they show off his bulkier frame 12 months after his Wallabies debut.
It keeps the pressure on Fraser McReight, who was excellent for the Reds and seems to have the inside running for the Wallabies job ever so slightly.
Hamish Stewart left Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt plenty to consider heading into selection time for the Lions tour.
Stewart was all class in the tough conditions and looked a class above in the Force’s backline.
His move to slice through for a key first-half try was perfect, even if he conceded a penalty with his actions afterwards, ending with six tackle busts.
Defensively, he was excellent with a big turnover in the second half, one of three for the night.
