Rory Arnold will return to strengthen the Brumbies pack in the only change to their starting lineup to face the Vodacom Bulls in Canberra on Friday.

The Brumbies have made just the single change to the team that defeated the Sunwolves a fortnight ago, with Arnold forming an experienced second row partnership with Sam Carter.

They have also opted for a 6-2 forwards split on the bench, with flank Rob Valentini playing in the No 21 jersey. Promising scrumhalf Ryan Lonergan and flyhalf Tom Wright are the only backline replacements.

Brumbies – 15 Tom Banks, 14 Henry Speight, 13 Tevita Kuridrani, 12 Irae Simone, 11 Toni Pulu, 10 Christian Lealiifano, 9 Joe Powell, 8 Pete Samu, 7 Jahrome Brown, 6 Tom Cusack, 5 Sam Carter, 4 Rory Arnold, 3 Allan Alaalatoa, 2 Folau Fainga’a, 1 Scott Sio.
Subs: 16 Connal Mcinerney, 17 James Slipper, 18 Leslie Leuluaialii-Makin, 19 Darcy Swain, 20 Murray Douglas, 21 Rob Valentini, 22 Ryan Lonergan, 23 Tom Wright.
