The Safeguard Global ACT Brumbies U16s and U19s sides have been unveiled as they look to rebound in Victoria in Round 3 of the Super Rugby U16s & U19s competitions against the Melbourne Rebels on Saturday the 12th of October.
With both Brumbies sides falling to the Queensland Reds in Round 2, multiple changes have been made ahead of their respective clashes in Victoria.
U19s Head Coach Daniel Hooper has brought in a new-look, 9 and 10 combination as Wally Wentzel and Sam McLachlan are promoted to the starting XV after featuring off the bench in the first two rounds.
Among other changes to his side, a new midfield combination will also be looking to run riot as Malakye Enasio and Hamish MacDonald move into the 12 and 13 jerseys.
Meanwhile in the U16s, coach Sean Debenham has also made plenty of tweaks to his side with different combinations being selected for the Rebels matchup. Oliver Clayden and William Tudulu going the run-out side as the lock duo, while the wings will also change, with Uhila Tai and Laine Bud-Brettingham being selected.
