Melbourne - The Waratahs have been forced to omit in-form wing Taqele Naiyaravoro from their side to take on the leading Hurricanes in their crunch Super Rugby match in New Zealand on Saturday due to a visa issue.
Fijian Naiyaravoro was also omitted from the team for the match against the Highlanders in Dunedin last month and is unable to leave Australia for the time being.
"Taqele's visa application is an ongoing process and as such he is not able to travel overseas at this point in time," a spokeswoman for the Waratahs said.
