Highlanders 12 Waratahs 15 THE Waratahs will give Lachlan Turner every chance to recover from a shoulder injury before deciding if he should be ruled out of Friday night's derby against the Brumbies.

THE Waratahs believe the Highlanders have signalled their intent to try to derail the NSW lineout in tonight's Super 14 game by naming second-rower Hayden Triggs as their starting blindside breakaway.

THE Waratahs will be looking for a win against New Zealand's Highlanders in Dunedin this weekend to get themselves back on the winning track.
