2 Brumbies In Charge?
The Brumbies, with 21 points, have a three point lead at the top of the Australian conference. But the Waratahs (20) and the Force (18) both have a game in hand. With the two contenders taking each other on you know one of them is going to come away with points.
Meantime the Brumbies will take on the Reds at a slightly wonky fortress Suncorp. If the Reds game plan finally clicks the we may see a new leader in the Australian conference! The good news for the Brumbies is the return of a couple of handy players. But a Knee injury to boom lock Sam Carter might take the gloss off the return of Stephen Moore.
My best bet is the Brumbies will still top the Australian conference next Monday but the permutations are intriguing. Can the Brumbies extract revenge for the defeat by the Reds in round Two? Can the Force win five in a row? Or will the Waratahs gain critical momentum going into the second half of the competition?
