One Wallaby returns while another is dropped.
The New South Wales Waratahs will welcome back Wallaby star Berrick Barnes for this week’s clash against the Central Cheetahs on Friday.
The club will welcome back one Wallaby player only to have another dropped to the bench, with coach Michael Cheika making another selection bombshell by demoting Drew Mitchell to the sidelines.
In truth, the veteran of 63 Tests and 103 Super Rugby games has been in particularly bad form recently, making several ball handling mistakes.
Cheika announced the team cannot afford to field under-performing stars as they look to turn around their recent losing streak.
