The Safeguard Global ACT Brumbies have announced their team for this weekend's Round 5 clash against the Western Force, kicking off from 2:35PM AEST at Viking Park this Saturday.
Head Coach Scott Fava has made changes to the squad for their last regular season match, with four players making their way back into the starting side following the team's Round 4 match against the Fijian Drua.
Chioma Enyi comes back into the starting side, taking her place on the wing after featuring off the bench in the forwards since Round 2.
Sally Fuesaina has been named in the front row, alongside Tania Naden and Iroha Kishimoto. Capped Wallaroo Kayla Sauvao also lines up at inside centre once again, after coming off the bench in last weeks' home match. This change will see skipper Siokapesi Palu back in the number six jersey and Loretta Mailangi back to the bench after their late position changes in Round 4.
Making their way onto the bench is Orange local and front row workhorse Madeleine Gogala who is in line to make her Super Rugby Women's debut at Viking Park. Also on the bench for the first time this season is outside back Martha Fua, who comes into the side after an incredible performance for the Gungahlin Eagles in the Premier 15s competition last week.
