Waratahs coach Daryl Gibson has made plenty of changes ahead of the Waratahs’ clash with the Sunwolves this Friday in Newcastle.
Coming off a stunning upset victory over the Crusaders, World Cup player management will be in full swing, with Bernard Foley, Jack Dempsey and Adam Ashley-Cooper all set to be rested from the game.
It means Lachlan Swinton and Karmichael Hunt are promoted off the bench, while Curtis Rona was originally picked to line up on the wing for the Sydney-based outfit, but has since been ruled out with injury. It means Alex Newsome comes off the bench to start at wing, with John Folau a potential to make his debut off the bench.
Michael Wells and Tom Saniforth have also been included in the team to make the trek up the F3 for the first ever Super Rugby game in Newcastle.
