Traditionally, The Brumbies game against the NSW Waratahs is THE BIGGEST match at (newly-named) GIO Canberra Stadium during the course of the Super 15 Rugby season each year.
It’s been a tumultuous couple of weeks for our local team, with The Brumbies losing captain David Pocock for the season to the same knee that wiped him out in 2013. The good news is that on the field, the lads have recovered from an early stumble against the Queensland Reds to get some wins under their belts courtesy of the struggling Western Force and Hurricanes.
Still, nothing in spires the emotions of a Canberra rugby fan like the knowledge that the Waratahs are heading down the Federal Highway to take on The Brumbies on home turf. Need we remind desperate Waratahs fans – who have only witnessed their side in one Super Rugby Final – just how successful that little team from down the road has been?
Of course we do. It’s our pleasure!
