What are the reasons for so many changes? Players back from injury?
I hardly know any of the kings players.

i think its great that Lilo gets a run at #10, would love to see him in contention for more than just one gold jersey

Interesting what'll happen after this game, no doubt Lealiifano and McCabe are going to look really good against the Kings.

However captain Ben Mowen laughed when asked if the 18-Test Wallaby inside centre would be feeling the nerves in his first Super Rugby game since fracturing his neck in the 2012 Wallabies spring tour to Europe.
"No, nope. Anyone who's seen Patty carrying a ball would know that there's no nerves about him in terms of contact,'' Mowen said.
"His biggest strength is in how direct he is as a player and a defender.''
McCabe's return to inside centre will push Lealiifano to flyhalf and give the impressive Matt To'omua a rest after three weeks of bruising South African encounters.

''(To'omua) could have played this week if I really wanted to push him through. It's more just making sure we get him 100 per cent spot-on going forward,'' White said.


"The reason that I've picked (Lealiifano) this week as well is to enable Wallabies selectors to see that he is versatile enough to be in match-day 22s.''

Just curious, I am a massive Taps fan - but feel that Lilo must be pounding down that door.

Is this the Brumbies' biggest pack? Alexander > Sio, Siliva = Moore, Kimlin > Fardy, and Oosthuizen > Carter.

I expect the Brumbies to play a more running game with Christian at 10, but good to see Nic back to take the penalty kicks for line.
