Next up will be yet another Aussie Conference humdinger. Or something…
Jake White’s Brumbies are building up a decent head of steam in this competition and will reintroduce one of their genuine stalwarts in flanker George Smith, who hasn’t played for the side for a number of years. Coming up against them will be a Waratahs team who’ve not quite looked the part yet this year, despite some good pre-season form.
