The ACT Brumbies would like to express their deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Garry ‘Quinzo’ Quinlivan, who has passed away peacefully at home at the age of 86.
A foundation Member of the Brumbies Family for over five decades and Life Member of ACT and Southern NSW Rugby Union, Quinzo has volunteered as the Brumbies Assistant Manager and longtime bagman for over five decades since the club was established in 1996.
Quinzo played a pivotal role in establishing the Brumbies ethos and culture, implementing a strong work ethic around the office and change room. Known for often being the first to arrive and last to leave, Quinzo’s dedication left a lasting impact on Brumbies staff and players, past and present.
Garry ‘Quinzo’ Quinlivan represented the heart and soul of the organisation and will be sorely missed by everyone at the ACT Brumbies.

Sad day for Canberra. Awful for the Brumbies boys not in town
5 decades - wow! Was there a Brumbies entity pre-1996??
Sounds like a top Rugby person, the type every club / team / organisation need. Commiserations to Brumbies folk.

Absolute stalwart for the game.
Prior to the pony adoption in '96, I suppose the entity was just ACT rugby rather than ACT Brumbies.
I think they started building some prominence in the 70s (not that I know anything about rugby back that far) which culminated in their win over Wales in 1979. Then, as now, the Welsh were a better side than than the Wallabies...

What a great article.
Anecdotes about the heater and Ben Alexander speak volumes.
"The Brumbies are my family and I love each and every one of them dearly,"
Please get that on the jersey somewhere.

Surely Brumbies sign Angus Staniforth after his U19s performances recently?? There isn't a lot of wing coverage and Ben O'D is recovering from knee surgery.

Good call. Muirhead is 30 and Sapsford was on the Wing at stages. 30 isn't old but he isn't a power style player so who knows how long he'll stick around here or look overseas to extend the career.
