Brumbies unchanged

The Brumbies have named an unchanged match 23 for their play-off qualifier against the Stormers on Saturday.

Coach Stephen Larkham has opted to retain the same players who went down 37-24 to the Crusaders in Canberrra last weekend. 

Matt Toomua, who missed six of the Brumbies' last seven matches with an ankle injury and returned via the bench against the Crusaders, was expected to start at Newlands, but Larkham has kept him among the reserves. 

Flyhalf Christian Lealiifano will play in his 100th Super Rugby match.  

Brumbies – 15 Jesse Mogg, 14 Henry Speight, 13 Tevita Kuridrani, 12 Robbie Coleman, 11 Joe Tomane, 10 Christian Lealiifano, 9 Nic White, 8 Ita Vaea, 7 David Pocock, 6 Scott Fardy, 5 Blake Enever, 4 Rory Arnold, 3 Ben Alexander, 2 Stephen Moore (c), 1 Scott Sio.
Subs: 16 Josh Mann-Rea, 17 Allan Alaalatoa, 18 Ruan Smith, 19 Jordan Smiler, 20 Jarrad Butler, 21 Michael Dowsett, 22 Matt Toomua, 23 James Dargaville.
