Potgieter out, Palu in for Barbarians

Former Waratahs flanker Jacques Potgieter has been ruled out of the Barbarians' clash with the Wallabies on Saturday.

The South African, who became a crowd favourite during the Waratahs' 2014 Super Rugby title run, has been ruled out through injury and won't line up for Alan Jones' side at Allianz Stadium.

His replacement is a man well known to both Wallabies and Tahs fans, with Wycliff Palu joining the squad today.

Palu made 139 appearances for the Tahs over a 13-year span and having retired from international rugby last year with 57 Test caps, he will now line up against Australia on Saturday.
