The Brumbies have named their side to take on the Florists (aka Waratahs) on Saturday night:
- Starting XV
1. Ben Alexander
2. Huia Edmonds
3. Dan Palmer
4. Ben Hand
5. Mark Chisholm
6. Colby Faingaa
7. Julian Salvi
8. Ita Vaea
9. Josh Valentine
10. Matt Giteau
11. Francis Fainifo
12. Christian Lealiifano
13. Andrew Smith
14. Henry Speight
15. Adam Ashley-Cooper
Replacements
16. Anthony Hegarty
17. Salesi Ma’afu
18. Peter Kimlin
19. Michael Hooper
20. Pat Phibbs
21. Matt Toomua
22. Robbie Coleman
The facially fractured Mitchell Chapman has seen Colby Faingaa move to blindside flanker with Julian Salvi the fetcher.
Pat McCabe has ended his run of invincibility and succumbed to a hamstring injury which sees the largely untried Andrew Smith playing outside centre.
Promisingly Christian Lealiifano is playing inside centre which could put the opposition in two minds if he and the git play opposite sides of the ruck. The sparkling Robbie Coleman then hopefully coming on when legs are tired.
