The Brumbies with only two wins from their seven starts are closer to the abyss‚ while the Lions have lost ground at home that they need to somehow make up on the road.
A win over the Waratahs and their crushing of the Chiefs are the only spikes in performance for the Brumbies‚ who have been beset by injury.Warren Whiteley‚ Cyle Brink ‚ Kwagga Smith‚ Dylan Smith and Andries Coetzee have all had to yield to injury in this campaign. That is apart from the list of players on the long-term casualty list.
Both teams will go into the contest with a high degree of desperation and both have also struggled to put together an 80-minute effort. The Lions‚ by contrast‚ have been slow vacating the blocks and have had to rely on strong second-half performances to keep their campaign alive. “There is nothing wrong with our preparations and we haven’t picked up any additional injuries. Hopefully it stays like that.
