The Brumbies were viewed as the antagonists in Australian rugby during the 1990s and early 2000s. They are currently recognized as the strongest Australian club and have notable players such as Tom Hooper. The British and Irish Lions' Test XV features key players including Maro Itoje, Joe McCarthy, and an all-Ireland midfield. Questions remain about the back row spots with Tom Curry and Ollie Chessum competing for selection. The Brumbies will be missing some Wallabies due to injuries, complicating their lineup.
Growing up in Johannesburg and watching Super Rugby in the 1990s and early 2000s, my father had a name for the Canberra based franchise. Bloody Brumbies, that's what he called them. Because for a generation they were the baddies of Australian rugby.
It's also an all-Ireland midfield combination. The biggest questions are in the back row where Tom Curry and Ollie Chessum are likely still playing for a spot in the Test side.
