The Brumbies have spent several years rejuvenating a team, while patiently waiting for the return of Matt Giteau to the squad.
Matt Giteau returned to the Brumbies yesterday after three years in the shadows of the Western Force, as the last of the Brumbies Wallabies – Rocky Elsom, Adam Ashley-Cooper, George Smith – united with the player group at Brumbies HQ Griffith Canberra.
The enthusiasm of their team couldn’t be disputed as they starting focusing on the 2010 Super 14 championship. Matt Giteau looked extremely pleased to be back at his home province, where it all started.
Coach Andy Friend named the team’s leadership group of inside back Matt Giteau, international veteran lock Justin Harrison, fellow forwards Stephen Moore and Mitchell Chapman, and last season’s skipper, Stephen Hoiles.
Giteau has spent the last two years at fly-half at the Force, after initially establishing himself at inside centre, playing along side flyhalf Steve Larkham.
“I’m happy to play fly half, inside centre, fullback, wherever the team needs me,” said Giteau. “But whichever position I’m chosen (in) I’d like to stick there for the whole season, depending on form.”
The question is: can the Brumbies win their third championship in 2010.
