Melbourne - Star flank David Pocock makes his likely return for Australian conference leaders Brumbies against defending Super Rugby champions Waratahs while code-hopper Sonny Bill Williams could be missing for the Chiefs this weekend.
Pocock is set to be eased back into action off the bench after recovering from an ankle injury, delaying his anticipated match-up with incumbent Wallabies captain Michael Hooper in a duel of Australia's top openside flanks.
The Brumbies lead the overall standings after five games, while the Waratahs have had a difficult start to their title defence losing two of their four outings.
