The Brumbies have announced their side to play the Force in Perth and prove wrong everyone who thinks they don’t have what it takes to win a game.
With Wallaby selectors sharpening their pencils Mr Enthusiasm Rocky Elsom has come good.
In the front row, Jono Owen moves to loose-head prop, with Ben Alexander sliding across for his first start at tighthead prop for the 2011 Super Rugby season.
For Edmonds, Anthony Hegarty comes onto the bench while Jerry Yanuyanutawa is also set to make an impact from the pine at prop.
Rocky Elsom will also make his first appearance of the season at flanker.
Julian Salvi is back in the starting side at No 8, while Henry Speight has moved back onto the wing shifting Andrew Smith to the bench.
The game is Mark Chisholm’s 100th Cap. He is back in the starting side moving Peter Kimlin to the bench.
