Thanks, what has happened to Cullen Grey. Thought he looked really good a couple of years ago in the 19's, but haven't heard anything about him since. Injured/moved away, not getting picked??

Now we know why we haven't seen Tualima the last 2 weeks. From the Canberra Times:

The Brumbies confirmed on Monday that lock Tuaina Taii Tualima came down with the illness after visiting Fiji for the side's Super Rugby Pacific round one fixture against the Drua on Saturday, February 15.

"The team took all preventative measures against mosquito-borne illnesses, however one of our players, Tuaina Taii Tualima, has become ill after contracting dengue fever," the Brumbies said in a statement.

"The affected player has been diagnosed early and is receiving medical input from the team doctor and an infectious disease specialist."

Further to ablove:
It's understood Tuaina did not go out and about in Suva, but it's thought he may have gotten a mosquito bite at the airport.

Brumbies coach Stephen Larkham believes Tualima would need at least four weeks before the 27-year-old can come back to full fitness and play again.

Last month, Fiji's Health Ministry officially declared a dengue fever outbreak, with at least 200 cases being recorded since the start of the year.

Holy shit, that's terrible news for the guy. Hope it doesn't have long term effects for him, but it can really wreck havoc on muscles and joints.

How good. Love the Brumbies logo and well done to Safeguard Global for going all in.

Other sides go harder with alternate jersey but the Brums do lowkey changes that are awesome. It always looks like them regardless of the change. Even the Navy camo one was drastic but looked like them.

Feao's two performances this year for the Brumbies: Fijian Drua Round 1 and Blues Round 4 he has scrummed really well. I think the scrum has looked the best and most dangerous when he has been on the paddock.

From the Crimes...


You might know her as the former Wallaroo. You know her brother Matt as a Wallabies great. The Giteau name carries some weight around these parts, but this is about more than Test caps and Super Rugby titles. This is about "a magical experience", about pictures drawn by her daughter and kids battling rare childhood cancers.

This is about the one-off Win The Day charity jerseys the Brumbies will wear against the Fijian Drua at Canberra Stadium on Friday night.
The jerseys have been designed by kids facing struggles which put rugby into perspective, which is why you'll see a drawing of two people on the front - which Charlie Cale figures look a little like Len Ikitau and Blake Schoupp "with the big head" - with one telling the other "we won".

And you'll notice the club and sponsor logos look like they've been drawn with markers - because kids from an oncology ward had the opportunity to reimagine the Brumbies logo, and those of almost every sponsor on the club uniform.
This is where Giteau enters the conversation.

Giteau's daughter Ka'ili was diagnosed with the rare Wilms' tumour in her kidney in July 2019. She has undergone chemotherapy, radiation and a bone marrow transplant - but she still has the smile to light up a room.

The day Ka'ili relapsed in 2020, Giteau was frantically trying to find out how she could start a charity. Today, Win The Day allows donors to pay for meals and help families cover treatment costs and accommodation while travelling for treatment, while also emerging as a national leader in providing Celebration of Life grants.

"When we started the charity - I get a bit emotional, Kai'ili's going to roll her eyes - it was to create experiences for the families," Giteau said.

"When you're a family in hospital, and you're trapped in that ward, we just wanted [them], if they were able to leave that ward, to have the ultimate experience."

Then she turns to Brumbies No.8 Cale, who looks at the Brumbies logo drawn against a backdrop of Win The Day's trademark rainbow and calls it "the coolest jersey I've ever seen".
