ACT Brumbies 2026

[Filipo Daugunu]

Rough start like last year. Perth and then Christchurch first 2 rounds.

 

[Brumby Runner]

Long odds about Bernie pulling the same selection game as this year. Will be looking for a wholehearted game against the Force after losing to them this year, and I don't think he will stack in the inexperienced players against the Cru like he did against the Drua this year. Will remember the poor form displayed by the experienced players the next game after Fiji.

 

[Uh huh]

It's always better to have the Crusaders early in the season than late. Most years, the Brumbies have been decent starters and the Crusaders have been more likely to build into their season. Most of the times we've got a win over them it's been in the first couple of rounds. If we weren't trying to do it without Lolesio, Ikitau and Hooper (and probably Wright), I'd be feeling pretty good about next season.

Definitely Wright, I've read his out for all next season. Super Rugby AU will be crucial for us to determine who our 10 (if Tane's not on tour with the Wallabies), 13, and 15 will be for next year.
