Brumbies unchanged for Force
The Brumbies will field an unchanged side to face the Force in a Super Rugby Round Four encounter in Canberra on Friday.
It's the first time coach Stephen Larkham has been able to name the same side two weeks running in 2015, after the team came through last week's win over the Rebels intact and uninjured.
Stephen Moore once again takes control of the side as captain, providing consistency in the leadership role – after Nic White and David Pocock led the team earlier in the year.
Moore said it was important to prepare well this week to give his side every chance of beating the Western Force.
"They're a good side, they can travel as we saw in round one and we'll require a committed performance to be able to come away with a win," Moore said.
"They'd probably be disappointed with their last couple of performances and will be up for this match.
"We managed to get on top of the Force here last year to progress to the play-offs and we'll be looking to get into that sort of rhythm here again on Friday."
