The Safeguard Global ACT Brumbies Super Rugby U16s and U19s sides have been announced ahead of their final regular season fixture of the year this weekend as they face the NSW Waratahs in Sydney at Pittwater Park in Warriewood on Saturday the 19th of October.
Looking to finish their season on high the U16s will take on competition heavyweights in the Waratahs at a 1:05pm, while the U19s fight to secure their spot in the big dance as a bye week looms before the decider on the 3rd of November.
The U19s will welcome back their 9 and 10 pairing from the opening two rounds with Lachlan Smith and Joe Dillon regaining their starting roles. Captain Shane Wilcox and hooker Lipina Ata also rejoin the starting XV after a strong showings off the bench last week against the Rebels.
The U16s side also lines up similarly to Round 3, with another change at flyhalf headlining the changes as Lachlan Smith comes into the run-on side as Callum Spooner moves to 22.
James Martens and Kevin Camilo also make their way back into the starting side as Head Coach Sean Debenham has made several other tweaks to his final 23.
