Possible move to centre for Tuqiri

Waratahs 32
Force 7

Wallabies wing Lote Tuqiri could be back at centre against the Blues on Friday as Waratahs coach Ewen McKenzie tries to squeeze all his big guns into the team for the first time this season.

Tuqiri returns to the Waratahs after being one of the few Australian Super 14 starters to emerge unscathed from the Commonwealth Games sevens tournament.

McKenzie has a wealth of quality wingers with Wendell Sailor scoring twice against the Force on his return from suspension. Their other wing, Peter Hewat, has won man-of-the-match honours for the last two weeks and is also the goalkicker.

Hewat and Sailor could remain on the wings, if Tuqiri shifts to centre where he started against the Reds.
