The NSW Waratahs are confident they can bounce back from the loss of star prop Angus Bell and keep their Super Rugby Pacific season alive, starting with victory against the Crusaders.
Bell will miss the remainder of the campaign after re-injuring the big-toe ligament that has plagued him in recent times, a huge blow to the Waratahs' chances of a surge back into top-eight contention after a 1-6 start to their campaign.
