The Brumbies have named the side to take on The Kings tomorrow night in Bruce.
The University of Canberra Brumbies have named their team to face the Kings at Canberra Stadium on Friday night with Pat McCabe returning to inside centre after a five month lay-off.
The 18-time Wallaby has been out of action thanks to a series of injuries including a small fracture to his neck and a strained hamstring. Now fully fit, McCabe will fill the No. 12 jersey outside Christian Lealiifano who has been named at flyhalf. With Lealiifano at 10, Matt Toomua is out of the 22-man squad.
In the forwards Siliva Siliva has been handed his first starting spot at hooker with champion rake Stephen Moore to start from the bench. It’s been a long road to the No. 2 jersey for Siliva, who battled a series of knee injuries in 2012 which kept him sidelined from Super Rugby until Round 1 this year.
The side is:
