The Brumbies take on the Waratahs as they return from their South African tour with Jake White’s team making quite the impression after running the Bulls close at Loftus and then beating the Lions in Johannesburg.
The Brumbies were touted to finish last in the Australian conference, but the White-effect has the team topping that log, and even though they have a team of rather ‘unknown’ players, they are outperforming their Australian teams. Today gives them the opportunity to further stretch that lead over their closest rivals, the Waratahs.
The Waratahs come off a loss at home to the Crusaders last weekend, and even though they impressed and ran the Saders closer than most would have thought, they never really looked like winning the match.
