Safeguard Global ACT Brumbies head coach Stephen Larkham has made just one change to his starting side for Sunday afternoon's round 12 clash against the Highlanders at GIO Stadium.
Centre Ollie Sapsford comes into the midfield with Hudson Creighton being included in the Brumbies matchday squad for the first time this season.
James Slipper starts at loosehead prop with Lachlan Lonergan at hooker and captain Allan Alaalatoa at tighthead, the Wallaby leading the team for the 46th time.
Darcy Swain and Nick Frost combine at lock with the backrow of Rob Valetini, Jahrome Brown and Pete Samu remaining unchanged from round 11.
Nic White and Noah Lolesio continue their partnership in the halves with Sapsford forming the midfield with Len Ikitau.
The Brumbies back-three of Corey Toole, Andy Muirhead and Tom Wright start for the ninth time this season, Wright having been at his electric best against the Rebels.
Connal McInerney also returns to the Brumbies matchday selection, the hooker joining Blake Schoupp and Rhys Van Nek as the finishing front row.
Tom Hooper and Luke Reimer will bring bags of energy to the forwards, with Ryan Lonergan and Jack Debreczeni having important roles to play as the finishing halves.
Creighton completes the Brumbies gameday squad.
Safeguard Global ACT Brumbies head coach, Stephen Larkham said: "We're excited to be home this week against a really good Highlanders side who have been far better than their record this season."
"It's great to have Hudson back fit. He's been in exception form for the Queanbeyan Whites on his return from injury having been one of our best young players last year and we're looking forward to seeing him get a crack this Sunday.
"Sunday afternoon games are rare and our focus is performing well for our community and building towards the finals."
