Brumbies- Eying the Top Spot in the Points Table

Dan McKellar has made just one alteration to his starting lineup for Sunday’s Super Rugby Pacific match against the Hurricanes at GIO Stadium Canberra. Fullback Tom Banks returns for the round 11 match after recovering from a facial injury sustained in round six against the Force in Perth. Tom Wright returns to the right-wing as a result of Banks’ return, with Ollie Sapsford’s inclusion in the finishers being the only other alteration to the Brumbies’ gameday lineup. Scott Sio, the Brumbies centurion, stays at loosehead prop following a standout effort against the Highlanders, forming the front row with Lachlan.

Hurricanes- Made Some Potential Changes to the Lineup

Coach Jason Holland has chosen his run-on lineup, which includes only a few changes from the 23 that defeated the Reds on Saturday. Kianu Kereru-Symes, a recent début, is moved to the bench to offer backup for hooker James O’Reilly, who returns from injury. Lock in the Bay of Plenty Justin Sangster replaces James Blackwell in the starting lineup, while Isaia Walker-Leawere, who started last week, moves to the bench. Te Kamaka (TK) Howden takes over at blindside for an injured Reed Prinsep, who is returning to New Zealand after suffering an injury during Saturday’s warmup. At ten o’clock, Jackson Garden-Bachop will control traffic, with Aidan Morgan, last week’s first five, shifting to the reserves. Wes Goosen is replaced on the left flank by Salesi Rayasi.
