NSW Waratahs coach Daryl Gibson says Israel Folau's ability to put the weight of off‑field criticism behind him is nothing short of extraordinary.
The 29‑year‑old will once again be the Waratahs' attacking focal point when they meet the Chiefs in Hamilton tonight.
The Chiefs are welcoming back four of their All Blacks for this tonight's clash with the in‑form Waratahs.
Nathan Harris, Brodie Retallick, Damian McKenzie and Anton Lienert‑Brown all missed last week's match against the Sharks in Durban because of All Black camp commitments but will start tonight in Hamilton.
The Chiefs will face the Waratahs at 7.35 tonight while the Reds will take on the Highlanders at 9.45pm.
Looking at the results of the matches completed so far, the Crusaders defeated the Hurricanes 24‑13, the Fiji born winger Marika Koroibete scored a hat‑trick for the Melbourne Rebels as they thrashed the Sunwolves 40‑13 while the Jaguares defeated the Sharks 29-13 this morning.
