Match Preview: NSW Waratahs vs Hurricanes
The Waratahs will be challenged as they go into the game without key player Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii, who injured his ankle during warm-ups and was replaced by George Poolman. His absence is significant for the team.
The Hurricanes, coming off a narrow defeat to the Fijian Drua in Lautoka, are also looking to reestablish their momentum. A positive for them is the return of co-captain Du’Plessis Kirifi, who will strengthen their back row.
