Let's go, boys. It's time for redemption. After last week's shocker, there might be a few changes to the side. AAA could return; I'd expect maybe a change in the row with Frost possibly starting, and there could be a change at 7 with Remier / Hooper getting the gig.

In the backline, not sure where we could change much; maybe if Muirhead is back, we will see Sapfords in the inside center and Tau onto the bench. I think Creightons been good at 13 so without Lenny then he stays there.

Maybe we rotate the front row and start Schoupp with Slips coming on later in the game.

Brumbies to bounce back and win by 3 to 10 points.

No, Nick Frost, is he injured or just out of form? Good to see Rory get a run. The guy's an absolute workhorse, I probably would have put Remier on the bench instead of Brown (unless injured)

It's good to see Lenny and AAA back, I would have thought AAA would come back from the bench, but if he's good to go, then I guess he starts.

Bring on Saturday Arvo footy.

Hoping for a response, and some big inclusions will make a difference, but can't see us coping with their physicality. Scott a strange inclusion with that in mind, though it does explain the wake up call Frost has received.

Expecting Ryan Lonergan to bounce back and quieten some critics though.

I guess that answers the question about Frost.

I thought he’d been travelling well this year.

His contact work has still not improved. Excellent lineout work and big motor, obviously still freakishly fast, but needs to start sticking his tackles.
Yeah I think some of the Brumbies form turned around when Swain took his spot. On the bench Hooper covers more positions..
