He actually got a lot of starts in the season before he left. Played a lot of 6 and 8 as well. Yeah definitely a 7, but I never thought of him as a breakdown pest like Croft at all.
Of the Brumbies stable right now, he's the only fit player that even resembles an open side so the selection shouldn't be too surprising. Butler has done a fine job, but he's what he looks like: a young eager mobile number eight filling in at open side.

I've been quite impressed with the way Butler has filled in at 7 but I am supposing he will be the stand by No 8 if there is a problem in this game and then McVerry comes in at 7. Probably why he was preferred on the bench to McCaffrey, although he McCaffrey has been playing good football when he's come on.

Tom McVerry, now that's a name I haven't heard in a very long time!

I really hope that when he gets on the field he plays really well as he deserves some good fortune with all the off field stuff he is having to deal with.

The Blues v Tahs match has made me a little more nervous.
Classic NZ team performance, never looking like losing.
Still think the Brumbies will do it though. They are coming off a bye but are playing the best possible opposition, they could train for a couple of weeks for a grand final rematch. The motivation is there and the Chiefs are away with an understrength team.
Last year's final was decided by less than a converted try. I think the Brumbies are in a position to eclipse that deficit. It is also interesting to remember that Lealiifano scored all 22 points for the Brumbies that day. I feel that his return to the starting line up is both timely and deliberate.
Here's the highlights of the that final:
go to 5:47 for Lealiifano's try

Brumbies fans, o mighty, mighty Brumbies, you could do us poor Tahs followers a HUGE favour by beating the Chiefs this weekend. Thanks. We'll return the favour some time.
That's a lie. We need to catch the ball to do that
I hope they take the rifles out of the ground before the game starts.

Steve Walsh, brumbies have won already,
Mogg knows it's a big game so it evens out.

Good call. No release of the ball carrier.
Good call, bad kick.

Good clean up from Moore. White another kicking error. Get em out of the way early son.
Chiefs attacking in the 22
8min gone
0-0 and a probable 3 points for the Chiefs.

Chiefs go all NSW Country and reintroduce the "Up the Jumper" play.

Always good to have the Ref talking to the opposition front row first.

Looks like it's gonna be 3-3
16min gone, good possession from the brums is rewarded with a penalty almost in front.
Can lealiifano get 402 career points? Yes
