'Challenges': Starless Brumbies to overcome Fiji fever
By Sebastian Tan
Missing star power, the ACT Brumbies face a steep task in bouncing back from a last-gasp loss, but coach Stephen Larkham is more worried about the other significant challenges confronting his side.
The Brumbies will aim to keep their top spot on the Super Rugby Pacific ladder with a win against the Fijian Drua in Ba on Saturday after a heartbreaking 34-31 loss to the Queensland Reds last round.
Larkham has been forced to make 10 changes to his side, which has remained mostly unaltered to start the season, because of Test player management protocols and injuries.
