Elsom back for the Waratahs

April 30, 2008 - 12:15PM

Wallabies (Super) flanker Rocky Elsom has been called straight into the NSW Waratahs starting side for the Super 14 rugby match against the defending champion Bulls in Pretoria on Saturday.

Elsom returns after recovering from the thigh injury he suffered earlier this month.

Dean Mumm moves from blindside flanker to lock to make way for Elsom, with Will Caldwell dropping to the bench.

Wallaby prop Al Baxter also comes into the starting side while five forwards have been named on the bench against the powerful Bulls.

Rugby league recruit Timana Tahu was not been included in the 22 for the match despite recovering from injury.

The Waratahs don't fly out for the match until tomorrow morning.

NSW Waratahs: Sam Norton-Knight, Lachie Turner, Rob Horne, Tom Carter, Lote Tuqiri, Kurtley Beale, Luke Burgess, WYcliff Palu, PHil Waugh (capt), Rocky Elsom, Dan Vickerman, Dean Mumm, Al Baxter, Tatafu Polota-Nau, Benn Robinson. Res: Adam Freier, Matt Dunning, Will Caldwell, David Lyons, Sekope Kepu, Matt Carraro, Brett Sheehan.

Considering he plays for the Tahs he probably feels dead inside....

Intersting how they balance out their pack by including Al Baxter in the side!

I think its based on a quota - can't have too many "quality" players in the one horrotahs side.

Someone needs to run the water for the tahs, mortlock did it for the brumbies and gits did it for the force, need someone to do it for the tahs. he's the rookie so he's probably go the duties..
