Super Round continues with the Fijian Drua locking horns with the NSW Waratahs at AAMI Park. Join The Roar for live scores from 7:35pm (AEDT).
This is the third meeting between the teams with the Tahs winning both by margins of 24+ points each. The Drua are looking to secure back-to-back wins in Super Rugby for the first time since joining the competition.
Drua have lost their last five straight games against Australian teams.
Former Wallabies hooker Tolu Latu gets his chance to impress Eddie Jones and make a late play for this year’s tournament with his call up on the bench for the Tahs.
Latu was a controversial pick-up by Darren Coleman who is banking on a cultural shift to benefit the former bad boy of Australian rugby.
Coleman has made a change in his pack with Langi Gleeson coming into the No.8 jersey. Charlie Gamble, who played there in the opening round loss to the Brumbies, goes to the bench.
Coleman has stuck with Tane Edmed at No.10 and Ben Donaldson at No.15 for the second week running while Nemani Nadolo is out of the 23.
