NSW Waratahs coach Michael Cheika has named the squad to take on the Melbourne Rebels in their Round 2 clash in Melbourne this Friday, February 20, at 7:30pm.

Fly-half Bernard Foley will celebrate his 50th Super Rugby cap this week, while teammates Adam Ashley-Cooper and Stephen Hoiles will notch their 50th Waratah Super Rugby caps in the same match.
This match also marks the following milestones:
- Benn Robinson equals Phil Waugh as most capped NSW player ever (136)

- Wycliff Palu equals Chris Whitaker as fifth most capped Waratah in Super Rugby (107)
