The Brumbies have announced their side to play the hated NSW Waratahs in Sydney this weekend.

Confirming that even the second half slow-down in Perth was part of the game plan they’ve named the same side.

After starting the season with just 396 caps combined, the University of Canberra Brumbies will carry and extra 213 games under their belts with Head Coach Jake White enjoying the luxury of playing a similar side for the majority of the season.

The University of Canberra Brumbies will take the field with 609 caps, still 459 short of their opponents the NSW Waratahs who boast 1068 for Saturday’s clash.

Head Coach Jake White said his side had prepared well through the week and was now ready to take on the Waratahs on their home turf.

“At this stage there’s still a lot of rugby left for us, potentially we still have four games to play so in that regard it’s great to have been able to keep the same team together,” White said.

“To be fair to those boys they had a very strong first half last Saturday night.
