A few surprising selections
-Kirifi and not Lakai. But Kirifi has been in VG form so understandable
-Rayasi and not Moorby. Weird selection. As I don't rate Rayasi and Moorby has been in great form on the wing (hes not a FB though)
-PUJ. But at least its not at 2nd 5. I will be keen to see how he goes at center but he needs to sometimes pass the ball not always try and crash through. It might be the last chance for him
-Good to see Grant in the reservesStrange to see both Higgins and Sullivan in the reserves

Referee: Angus Gardner
Assistant Referees: Damon Murphy, Jeremy Markey

@Winger Billy Proctor has had huge mins, good chance to rest him in this game, same with Josh Moorby and Peter Lakai, even though the latter is on the bench. I'd say more guys will take a seat next week but they are probably ensuring there is enough quality on the park for this game and next week's game to get the job done.
The Brumbies will be massively boosted by the return of Alaalatoa and Ikitau. I expect them to be hugely improved compared to last week. If the Canes win this week and next, they've almost guaranteed a top 2 position. Then that game against the Blues will likely determine who finishes in top spot.

Update: Proctor has bursitis in his knee so is being rested this week.
Also, the Canes sent an SOS to Dane Coles but unfortunately he won't be playing for the Canes this year after also suffering an injury playing for his Japanese club.

OK so the team needs another hooker.
Vernon Bason was the Hunters replacement hooker (Maybe too young though)

Good start Brumbies.

@KiwiMurph lol how many tackles have the Crusaders loosies missed this year. A couple missed tackles and now he’s not upto international standard. Give me a break.

Cripes are you defensive (pun not intended). It's an area for Iose that's always been a work on - that's all.
