Injury has forced the ACT Brumbies to make three changes to their Super Rugby squad for Round 2.

Wallabies duo David Pocock (concussion) and Henry Speight (hip) join Toni Pulu (cheekbone) on the sidelines for the Canberra club as they take on the Chiefs this Saturday.

Previously, the Queensland Reds announced Sefa Naivalu and Bryce Hegarty will make their club debuts when they travel to Dunedin for a clash with the Highlanders.

Naivalu joined the club from the Rebels during the off-season, while Hegarty was swapped to the Reds in a trade with Karmichael Hunt.

Brad Thorn’s side face a tough start to their season, after a bye in Round 1.

Aaron Smith and Shannon Frizell have also been called up to start for the Highlanders.

After coming off the bench in last week’s three-point victory over the Chiefs, Frizell and Smith will rejoin the starting 15 this week. Ash Dixon has been named to once again come off the bench for the Highlanders though, and it’s hard to argue against the tactic, given the ‘Landers finished with two tries in the last 20 minutes.

The Waratahs have also named their 15, with Kurtley Beale set to make his return to action in the number 12, while Karmichael Hunt will play at outside centre, moving into jersey 13 for the ‘Tahs.
