Waratahs coach Michael Cheika named an unchanged side for Saturday's Super Rugby Round Seven clash against the Blues in Sydney.


The starting XV is unchanged from that which overpowered the Brumbies 28-13 in a spiteful encounter last week - which resulted in Waratahs loose forward Jacques Potgieter being fined for homophobic slurs.


However, there is one addition to the replacement bench - with hooker Tatafu Polota-Nau returning this week after his omission last week due to injury.


Waratahs: 15 Israel Folau, 14 Taqele Naiyaravoro, 13 Matt Carraro, 12 Kurtley Beale, 11 Rob Horne, 10 Bernard Foley, 9 Nick Phipps, 8 Wycliff Palu, 7 Michael Hooper, 6 Jacques Potgieter, 5 David Dennis (captain), 4 Will Skelton, 3 Sekope Kepu, 2 Tolu Latu, 1 Benn Robinson.

Replacements - from: Hugh Roach, Tatafu Polota-Nau, Jeremy Tilse, Paddy Ryan, Sam Lousi, Mitchell Chapman, Stephen Hoiles, , Brendan McKibbin, Jono Lance, Peter Betham.


Date: Saturday, march 28

Venue: Allianz Stadium, Sydney

Kick-off: 19.40 (21.40 NZ time; 08.40 GMT)

Referee: Jaco Peyper (South Africa)

Assistant referees: Andrew Lees, Damien Mitchelmore (Australia)

TMO: Peter Marshall (Australia)
