Safeguard Global ACT Brumbies confirm side for home game against the Qld Reds

Brumbies getting on top now 10-0 after 28mins

Surprised the Reds have the edge in recent matches. They’ve won 4 of the last 5

Slipper might have a bad shoulder injury? Looked like more than a stinger

Edit - nope, just a stinger

Reds back in it. 16-12 Brumbies now.

Why isn't O'Connor starting for the Reds? Lynagh isn't bad, but O'Connor is just better & more experienced.

My theory is that injury has taken a longer for him to come back from.

Now that he's an old fart 😉

@Stargazer

Last week was his first game back after an injury & surgery. Probably be starting again soon

Grub Swain was at it again, there. Looked like a late tackle on O'Connor.
