MELBOURNE : The ACT Brumbies' hopes of securing a home quarter-final in Super Rugby Pacific have dimmed due to the absence of three Wallabies from the line-up for the final regular season clash against the Melbourne Rebels on Friday.
Defeat to the Rebels at Canberra Stadium could see the Brumbies fall out of the top four if the Wellington Hurricanes beat the champion Canterbury Crusaders at home.The loss of Alaalatoa and Slipper leaves the Brumbies with a makeshift front row made up of Fred Kaihea, Connal McInerney and Sefo Kautai to face the 11th-placed Rebels, who head to Canberra with confidence after thrashing Western Force 52-14.
Flyhalf Jack Debreczeni will partner White in the halves, while lock Cadeyrn Neville also returns after a stint in hospital for a knee infection.
