Matt Carraro will remain at inside centre for the Waratahs' semi-final against the Highlanders in Sydney on Saturday.

Carraro kept his spot after Kurtley Beale was ruled out with a quadriceps injury.

In the only change to the starting XV that beat the Reds two weeks ago, Rob Horne will start on the left wing having recovered from a calf niggle, with Peter Betham moving to the bench.
