The NSW Waratahs' season from hell continues with the news that promising young playmaker Will Harrison will be sidelined with a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n

The Waratahs are yet to confirm the details of Harrison's issue but he will miss at least Saturday's Super Rugby AU clash with the Western Force – and potentially much longer.<\/p>\n

The winless Waratahs showed significant improvement in a last-start 24-22 loss to the defending champion Brumbies, with Harrison devastated after missing a sideline conversion to send the match into golden try extra time.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old five-eighth has been battling niggles all season while operating behind a beaten pack and missed selection in the 40-man Wallabies squad that met in Sydney this week.<\/p>\n

Harrison was a member of Dave Rennie's squad last year and will likely be replaced by Tane Edmed in the Waratahs backline.<\/p>\n

However, the Harrison setback will be offset by the return after the bye week of Wallabies flanker Lachie Swinton to the NSW pack.<\/p>\n

Swinton has been out since injuring his ankle in round five and should join Will Harris and Carlo Tizzano in the starting back row when co-coaches Jason Gilmore and Chris Whitaker unveil their team on Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Rising No.8 Harris still holds finals aspirations ahead of the last two rounds against the Force and Melbourne Rebels.<\/p>\n

"We're still in with a chance of the finals with the way that the results have gone so we have to win this game and the next to make the finals," Harris said.<\/p>\n

"We've had a good bye week, haven't used it as a rest, more as an opportunity to build and get better.<\/p>\n

"We see these last two as winnable games."<\/p>\n
