Overview
- Wright, named to start at fullback on Saturday in Canberra, makes his first Brumbies appearance since tearing his ACL in August.
- Coach Stephen Larkham said he is ahead of schedule after more than a month of full training and has looked “exceptionally good.”
- Andy Muirhead moves to the bench as Wright takes the No.15 jersey, and back-rower Charlie Cale is out with shoulder damage under further assessment.
- Tuaina Taii Tualima starts at No.8 to cover Cale, and the Brumbies aim to build on last week’s 14–10 win over the Highlanders after a prior loss to the Drua in Fiji.
- Wright’s return also keeps him in contention for Wallabies selection ahead of the July 4 Test against Ireland.
