The Brumby Runners will have their first fixture of 2025 as they take on a NSW Waratahs A side at Brumbies HQ tomorrow (kick-off 2pm).

The side features four players who made their debuts for the first-team in last weekend’s landmark 36-32 victory over the Fijian Drua in Suva, with Lington Ieli, Judah Saumaisue, Austin Anderson and Kadin Pritchard all set to start.

Liam Bowron, Lachlan Hooper, Klayton Thorn, and Shane Wilcox, who are full-time members of the Smartech Super Rugby Pacific squad, will also appear for the Runners from the off.
