Team News:
Blues: The Blues have made one enforced change to their side for Friday night’s DHL Super Rugby Pacific Semi Final showdown. Lock Sam Darry returns to the starting side after sitting out last week under concussion protocols, replacing skipper Patrick Tuipulotu who is sidelined with a knee injury.
Brumbies: Wallabies prop James Slipper makes a welcome return as the ACT Brumbies forward pack braces for one of the most powerful scrums in the Super Rugby Pacific. The veteran has been named by coach Stephen Larkham for his side’s semi-final clash with the Blues on Friday after overcoming a calf injury that ruled him out of their dominant 32-16 victory over the Highlanders last time out.
