[Brumby Runner]

It will be a quick trip from Canberra to Brisbane for Assistant Ref Hoffmann. If he is officiating at Canberra, I hope the Brums take notice of his quick throw-ins rulings. Think it was him who caught both Tahs and Rebels last week for standing in the field of play to take the throw-in, when on both occasions it would have had no material effect on the play.

Jaco Pyper! Game could go either way on a whim. He will also need to be quick to get the Bloemfontein on Saturday!

20. Matt Lucas (Manly)
21. Berrick Barnes (Sydney University)
22. Drew Mitchell (Balmain)

The absence of Wycliff Palu, who failed to recover from a knock to the knee in last week’s game, has seen Head Coach Michael Cheika reshuffle his back row, with Pat McCutcheon coming in to the starting XV on the blindside flank.

In the backline, Cheika has reverted to the halves and midfield combinations that brought success against the Brumbies two weeks ago, starting scrumhalf Brendan McKibbin and inside centre Rob Horne and naming Matt Lucas and Berrick Barnes on the bench.

Fully recovered from a corked thigh, wing Cam Crawford returns to the starting side in place of Drew Mitchell.

A medial ligament injury to Mitchell Chapman, sustained at training earlier in the week, will see the Eastern Suburbs forward ruled out for six weeks. Instead, Southern Districts’ youngster Jed Holloway will provide back row cover.
