Six Safeguard Global ACT Brumbies have been named for the Wallabies' Bledisloe Two fixture in New Zealand this Saturday at 5:05pm, as the side looks to bounce back from last weeks' narrow three point loss in Sydney.
Five of six selected Brumbies will line up in the starting XV, with forwards Nick Frost and Rob Valentini adding plenty of depth in both set piece and open play. Meanwhile the backline selections are headlined by Noah Lolesio retaining the number 10 jersey, helping steer fellow Brumbies Len Ikitau and Tom Wright around the park.
Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt said: “We didn’t help ourselves last weekend falling behind early to a fast moving, high tempo All Blacks side.” “We know we will need to start better than we did last week, with the physical edge and accuracy required.” Watch all the action on Stan Sport with every Wallabies Test streaming ad-free, live and on demand with Wallabies at home in 4K UHD.
