Plans are on foot for a Shute Shield All Stars side to take on the Waratahs in a two-game series in December.

The dates scheduled for the salivating series of matches are December 11 and 18, right at the end of the Waratahs’ pre-Christmas training block with venues and kick-off times yet to be settled upon.

Waratahs coach Darren Coleman had a Zoom meeting with all the clubs last week and while there was some concern about the risk of injury and timing the overall vibe about the concept has been positive.
