Waratahs veteran Adam Ashley-Cooper is bracing for the more direct challenge posed by rising All Black star Malakai Fekitoa as the Waratahs meet the Highlanders this weekend.
Cooper’s match-up with rookie Fekitoa is a feature of this match as the Waratahs will need to win to maintain their lead in the points table and secure a home semifinal.
The Waratahs will take on the Highlanders at 6.05pm Sunday.
