The second and final match this Friday morning is an Australian derby with little interest in the big scheme of things, yet it should be a good enough game to make it worth watching.
The Brumbies lost the first leg of this match in Melbourne and will be out for some revenge, especially after they got one over the Reds last weekend.
The Rebels have had a very long debut season, but have made a few changes to try be competitive in this match, with Danny Cipriani coming back into the flyhalf slot.
The match kicks off at 11h40 and ex-Chiefs player Glen Jackson referee’s in his second match.
