Super Rugby W has been the most competitive to date but can anyone stop the in-form Tahs in the semifinals?
After missing out on the title the last two years the Tahs players seem laser focused to win this year.
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.
