LIVE: The ACT Brumbies will be out to continue their perfect start as they host the Blues in Canberra.

The Brumbies return home after starting the season with back-to-back away wins over the Western Force and Crusaders.

Watch every second of the 2026 Super Rugby Pacific season live and on demand via Stan Sport.

Stephen Larkham has kept the same 23 for the third straight week, facing a Blues side coming off a win over the Western Force.

The Blues started the season with a narrow defeat to the Chiefs, eager to get revenge after last year's defeat at Eden Park to the Brumbies.

All Blacks Sam Darry and Ofa Tu’ungafasi are among the new faces in the starting side, with captain Dalton Papali'i set to bring up 100 games for the club.
