The Safeguard Global ACT Brumbies have announced their squad for this weekend's Round 5 clash against the Western Force, kicking off at Viking Park this Saturday from 2:35PM AEST.
Head coach Scott Fawa has made changes to the squad for their final regular season match, with four players returning to the starting side following the team's Round 4 match against Fijian Trua.
Chioma Eni returns to the starting side, taking his place off the bench in round 2 of the forwards.
Sally Fusina sits in the front row with Tania Natan and Iroha Kishimoto. Capted Wallaroo Kayla Savao also lines up at inside center once again after coming off the bench in last week's home match. The change sees captain Tsiokabesi Balu in the number six jersey and Loretta Mailangi back to the bench after a late switch in Round 4.
Orange local and front-row workhorse Madeleine Kogala takes to the bench as she makes her Super Rugby women's debut at Viking Park. Also on the bench for the first time this season is Martha Fua, who comes into the side after an impressive performance for Gungalin Eagles in the Premier 15s last week.
