Head Coach, Daryl Gibson has opted for a similar line-up to the team who defeated the Western Force for this weekend’s round 10 match against the Stormers in South Africa.

Just the one change has been made to the starting side with NSW stalwart, Dean Mumm moving into the number six jersey, while Sam Lousi has been slotted onto the bench. Jack Dempsey has been ruled out due to a shoulder injury suffered in the match against the Force.

After celebrating a century of games for NSW last weekend, Club Captain Dave Dennis will run out for his 100th Super Rugby match this week, having played one extra game for NSW against the British and Irish Lions in 2013. Now in his tenth year for the Waratahs, Dennis has played all 100 games for his home state.
