ACT Brumbies 2026

[Caputo]

I reckon something like:

Slipper / Schoup / Ieli
Pollard / Bowron / Lonergan / Ata
Ala'alatoa / Alatini / Van Nek / Fotuaika
Frost / McPherson / Cordukes
Shaw / Neville
Valetini / Langi
Scott / Reimer
Cale / Tualima
Lonergan / Thorne / Nelson
Meredith / Edmed
Toole / Oates
Feluai'i / Anderson / McCloud
Creighton / Pritchard / Enasio
Muirhead / Sapsford
Wright / Wilcox

Would love to see them get Angus Staniforth back. Could do with one more experienced backrower too, ideally a ball carrier. Probably a year or two too soon for Morrison & Langi imo.

Looking for some clues from Super R OZ 25. After taking out Wallaby & injured. Here are some names to consider & possible EDS.

Not including this years Aus Under 20

LHP - Vaotangi Mafi. Mafi 24year from Sydney west came down for Pre season 25 and stayed year in JID Cup.
Hooker - Chris Mickelson. Mickelson is 22 from Uni/North who had 2024 in MLR.
THP - Position is stacked but Te Huia Kutia as support. 25 year THP from NZ's Thames Valley and NZ Heartland Rep. Aus Barbarian & Uni/North.
Locks - Recent 2024 Aus Under 20 in Harvey Cordukes
Backrow - Judah Saumaisue has a Brumby cap in 2025
Backs - Qld connection in Oates clan gives Fullback & Fly Half coverage and Nathan Carroll has been in and about Brumby Squad since 2022. Contract in 2023 and regular Brumby Runners as outside back.

 

[Brumby Runner]

Saumasue was listed in the Brumbies squad this year but doesn't appear to have been extended at this stage. Good prospect, but might elect to play for Fiji, I think.
