It’s the match of the season this Saturday at the Stadium In Bruce.
The Brumbies have just announced our starting 15 to face the might of Auckland.
- 1. Ben Alexander
2. Stephen Moore
3. Guy Shepherdson
4. Ben Hand
5. Peter Kimlin
6. Mitchell Chapman
7. George Smith
8. Stephen Hoiles (c)
9. Patrick Phibbs
10. Matt Toomua
11. Stirling Mortlock
12. Gene Fairbanks
13. Tyrone Smith
14. Francis Fainifo
15. Adam Ashley-Cooper
We will have to hope that Shepherdson’s had a hair cut before being allowed back on the pitch.
The backline appeared to function last week, but I have to worry that the Auckland speedsters might have cottoned on to just how slow Mortlock is these days.
Also nice to see Francis Fainifo rewarded for his electric running against the Reds.
But the loss of Gerrard’s booming boot is big one, especially with our incompetent lineout jumping since the loss of Mark Chisholm.
