Taniela Tupou shows how valuable he is to Rebels with try at a vital stage in his team's win
Questions have been circling over Thor's future with reports of international offers - but the Melbourne forward came off the bench in the second…
Wallabies No.8 Wycliff Palu has been ruled out the NSW Waratahs’ named for the Super Rugby home clash with the Western Force on Saturday night.
Palu failed to recover sufficiently from the lower leg injury that kept him out of last week’s 18-17 loss to the Highlanders.
He had a light training run on Tuesday but was unable to get the tick of approval from medical staff to face the winless Force at Allianz Stadium, with Tevita Metuisela retained at No.8.
Former Force player Jono Jenkins will start at openside flanker in place of Pat McCutcheon, who has been sidelined for six months with an ankle injury suffered against the Highlanders.
Back from a stint in Japan, big loose forward Sitaleki Timani will make his return to action from the bench.
NSW Waratahs
Bernard Foley, Tom Kingston, Rob Horne, Berrick Barnes, Adam Ashley-Cooper, Daniel Halangahu (capt), Sarel Pretorius, Tevita Metuisela, Jono Jenkins, Dave Dennis, Kane Douglas, Dean Mumm, Sekope Kepu, Tatafu Polota-Nau, Benn Robinson. Res: John Ulugia, Paddy Ryan, Sitaleki Timani, Lopeti Timani, Chris Alcock, Brendan McKibbin, Tom Carter.

How could your foot miss the ball from that close?
Both the Waratahs forward and Rebels Lachie Anderson needed cuts patched up - but it stayed a yellow card after the review.
Tom Ross threw a flick pass that Sonny Bill Williams would be proud of!
A quick tap, grubber kick, and perfect pass for Lachie Anderson to score under the posts.
