Wallaby hooker called back to England
TRANSFER NEWS: The Waratahs confirmed that Tatafu Polota-Nau has been called back to England for his Leicester Tigers.
On loan from Leicester to fill a short term injury cover, Tatafu played two matches for the Waratahs against the Reds and Brumbies.
Waratahs head coach Daryl Gibson thanked Tatafu for coming home to help fill the gap.
“Our team is very grateful to Tatafu and Leicester Tigers for helping us fill a short term injury cover.
“We entered a loan arrangement always knowing Leicester would want him back in England in the near future.
“Tatafu slotted back into the squad with such ease and was a big contributor for the squad. It also gave Tatafu the chance to show Aussie selectors how he’s progressing ahead of the World Cup.
“Shambeckler Vui is working his way back to full fitness and Andrew Tuala will also come into the squad. Tuala had two great games with our Emerging Waratahs side and has been working hard at our training sessions,” he said.
The Waratahs take on the Crusaders this Saturday at the SCG.
