Wallabies Taniela Tupou and Andrew Kellaway have been named in the NSW Waratahs side to play the British & Irish Lions in Sydney on Saturday night.
Tupou, who will start at tight head prop, and Kellaway, who has been named on the right wing, rejoined the side at Daceyville in Sydney this week from the Wallabies who have been training in Newcastle for Sunday's Test against Fiji.
In Saturday's game at Allianz Stadium in Moore Park, Sydney, the NSW Waratahs will be captained by long-serving backrower Hugh Sinclair.
Sinclair has been named at No. 8 for what will be the last game of his professional rugby career. Leading the side before a packed home stadium and in such a high profile game will provide him with a fairytale adieu to the game.
Also in the team after being released from the Wallabies wider training group are Darby Lancaster on the left wing, and on the bench, lock Matt Philip for his NSW Waratahs debut after returning from Japan and fly-half Tane Edmed.
