    Folau returns for Waratahs v Force clash

    AAP
    April 10, 2014, 12:14 pm


    Israel Folau will make his Super Rugby comeback on Saturday in a new-look back three for the NSW Waratahs' clash with the Western Force.

    The fullback had been sidelined for two weeks with a throat injury, but has been given the all clear to make his return.

    He will line up alongside Rob Horne and Cam Crawford who have been named on the wings by coach Michael Cheika, while Kurtley Beale returns to inside centre.

    Crawford replaces speedster Peter Betham who is out with a broken foot.

    It will be his first game in the top-grade for 2014, after shoulder surgery in the off-season hampered his preparations.

    Horne, meanwhile, gets a second crack in the No.14 following a knee injury to Alofa Alofa.

    The 25-year-old played on the wing against the Sharks, but was suspended for a week for a high shot on Francois Steyn.

    With Wycliff Palu unavailable due to an ankle injury, captain Dave Dennis will stay at No.8.

    NSW Waratahs: Israel Folau, Cam Crawford, Adam Ashley-Cooper, Kurtley Beale, Rob Horne, Bernard Foley, Nick Phipps, Dave Dennis, Michael Hooper, Jacques Potgieter, Kane Douglas, Will Skelton, Sekope Kepu, Tatafu Polota Nau, Benn Robinson.

    Doesn't matter who the Tahs have the Force will have their measure and make it 5 on the trot.

    Seems pretty simple to me - just don't give the ball to Folau!

    I think you need to start watching the game? Sias doesn't do all the kicking!

    He was! Now here is a game between 2 of the higher ranked teams, it deserves a higher ranking Ref. But, noooooo. In a conference where state divisions are so clear, they appoint a NSW referee!

    As long as the Force do what they have been doing - maintaining possession and applying the pressure, they will do well. I can't believe how excited I am for this game.

    This has been a lonnnnng week, waiting in anticipation for this game.
    I really want to shout out to the world that a Force victory is on the cards.. however, I'm worried because:

    1) We've never beaten the Waratah's at nib.

    2) Folau (And the rest of the Wallabies) are playing against us

    3) Can we really pull off a 5th straight win against them

    4) Angus Gardener will more than likely make streaky decisions in their favour.

    I hope to all the rugby gods that we beat those new south welshman.
    Their supporters are so f@#$in cocky!

    The bookie has us at $3.40 for a 1-12 pt win. I'm in - go get 'em boys!

    How flash would it be to win 5 straight and beat the star-studded Tahs at the same time (shit that's an exciting prospect!) and how much press time have we been getting? We damn near dominated Rugby HQ on Fox - as the CEO said today, amazing what a few wins can do - hope the crowd is big tomorrow night
