Australian conference leaders, the Brumbies take on New Zealand conference leaders, the Chiefs in Canberra on Saturday. Like in prior rounds Argentine Tomás Cubelli will start for the Australian side from scrum half.
Cubelli is to again join Wallaby Christian Lealiifano in the halves. His form to date has been noteworthy with him seemingly winning the battle with Martín Landajo to be the first choice Los Pumas number nine come June.
The star-studded Brumbies side features an all-Wallaby front-row, led by Australian captain Stephen Moore from hooker. Additional test players starting include Sam Carter, Scott Fardy, David Pocock, Tevita Kuridrani, Matt Toomua and Joe Tomane.
The on-form Brumbies are to play their first home match since round two when they defeated the New South Wales Waratahs 32-15. In round one Cubelli scored at the same ground, crossing against the Hurricanes.
