The Brumbies tackle the Waratahs in Super Rugby AU at Canberra’s GIO Stadium tonight. Join The Roar for live scores and a blog of the game from 7:15pm (AEST).
The Brumbies have made an incredible nine changes to their starting XV for tonight’s clash, and 16 changes in total, after being thrashed by the Rebels last week.
Notably, Junior Wallabies halves Ryan Lonergan and Bayley Kuenzle will combine for the first time at Super Rugby level.
The Waratahs, on the other hand, enter this match with a largely settled 23 after notching back-to-back wins over the past two weeks.
Only Karmichael Hunt was a late scratching due to a minor hamstring injury. Former Australians sevens player Nick Malouf is in line for a potential debut off the bench.
While the Tahs have run in the points in recent weeks, the Brumbies have found it much harder to hit the scoreboard.
That said, the side from the ACT start clear favourites with the bookmakers, although an upset to the NSW outfit would not surprise given recent form.
Kick-off: 7:15pm (AEST)
