The HSBC Junior Waratahs are looking to complete a perfect season when they take on the Brumby Runners at Knox Grammar School on Sunday afternoon, and have named an experienced line-up for the clash.

Lock Cam Jowitt was expected to make a comeback following an ankle injury sustained in round one of the Super 14, however he has been given another week on the sidelines. Despite this, the HSBC Junior Waratahs will field a side stacked with Super 14 talent.
Peter Betham, Rory Sidey, Dan Palmer and Locky McCaffrey all toured South Africa with the HSBC Waratahs in February and will feature in the team alongside Super 14 squad members Chris Thomson (captain), Nemani Nadolo, Chris Alcock and Ben Coridas.
The Junior Tahs were four-from-four going into last week's fixture against the Queensland Reds 2nd XV at Forshaw Rugby Park, and only a last minute try Nadolo - who scored four in the match - kept the team's unbeaten record intact.
They have already tasted victory over the Brumby Runners with a 40-10 victory at Viking Park four weeks ago, while they also opened their 2010 campaign at Knox Grammar with a 15-5 win over the Australian Barbarians in early February.
Two victories over the Reds 2nd XV (18-14 and 28-27) and a 50-10 thrashing of Argentinean club San Isidro Athletic Club (CASI) have earned the Junior Tahs a perfect record going into the match.
