The Waratahs are expected to recall five eighth Bernard Foley for Sundays encounter with the Reds.

The New South Wales side have been below their best in the opening rounds but the return of Foley will allow Kurtley Beale (pictured) to move back to inside centre, a combination that has been a potent force for the Waratahs.

Beale has been playing in the five eighth position but Foley believes his return to the side will allow Beale to rediscover his attacking best.
