Two Brumbies turning out for the New Zealand national provincial final

4 November 2010 | By johnboy

The SMH brings word that Brumbies pivot Christian Lealiifano has had a lovely time in Waikato and feels his stint there has really enhanced his game as he squares off against Giteau and Toomua for a spot in the Brumbies 2011 starting lineup.

While he’s been playing off the bench in recent weeks Christian is going to be there as a rare Australian participant in a New Zealand national provincial final against Canterbury.

Lealiifano isn’t the only Brumby out there though. New signing Henry Speight is also playing in the final for Waikato.

And if the ARU had given the ARC half a chance, we wouldn’t need to send our players over to NZ( or Sth Africa in Matt Tomua’s case last year).
Good luck to all of them, it should be a great game.

And don’t forget that Canberra backrower Jack Lam (brother of former Queanbeyan come Randwick backrower Seilala Lam) will also be playing for Waikato.

This guy would probably be a Brumby if they hadn’t of signed 3 other openside flankers. Jack Lam is every bit as good as them too.

So yes, there’s a strong Canberra connection there.
