Doubt over Waugh return
By Jon Geddes

INSPIRATIONAL skipper Phil Waugh's much-anticipated return to the field for the New South Wales Waratahs this weekend is in doubt.
NSW coach Ewen McKenzie will get a medical update on the Wallabies back rower today, but revealed he may not make his comeback against the Hurricanes on Saturday.
"If I ask him he will want to have a crack, but Phil hasn't really trained much with the team," McKenzie said.
"I just have to make a call about whether there is any value in playing him off the bench for half a game in the last game and if it will do anyone any good.
"He'll play well technically, but coming in a bit cold on what we have been doing for the last period of time."
McKenzie faces a dilemma this week with his three halfbacks Josh Holmes, Brett Sheehan and Josh Valentine all available, meaning one of the trio is set to miss the squad.
