Super Rugby Pacific finals don’t start until next weekend, but you wouldn’t know that looking at the stakes of Friday’s match. For our ACT Brumbies, it all comes down to this.
A top two finish – and the potential for a stretch of home finals – is on the line Friday night against a traditional rival. The Crusaders arrive in Canberra with the same equation and ambitions, in a match that looms as an early final. The match itself is befitting of the occasion, with Round 16 marking Indigenous Round here at the Brumbies.
The Brumbies will be boosted by the return of Noah Lolesio from injury, with Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt likely to be a keen observer. The visitors, however, come into the match in a rich vein of form, having won six of their last seven matches. It all sets up beautifully for a mouthwatering clash between two of the competition’s titans.
With everything to play for, a big home crowd is vital to help get our boys over the line. With numbers trending upwards, now is the chance for Brumbies fans and members alike to secure their spot in what shapes as an historic season for the club.
