Matt Toomua, Christian Lealiifano and Tevita Kuridrani have been given the responsibility of handling the defensive duties against unbreakable All Blacks centre Sonny Bill Williams in their clash against the Chiefs this weekend.
Brumbies forwards coach Dan McKellar said they will shut down the code hopping centre and will not give him space.
McKellar said they will chop Williams down with good aggressive low tackles and will make sure they have good connections to counter his offloads.
Meanwhile, Brumbies Captain David Pocock has been ruled out with an ankle injury for this weekend’s match.
The Brumbies and the Cheetahs currently lead the points table with 5 points each while the Hurricanes trail in third place with 4 points.
The Chiefs will take on the Brumbies at 6.35pm on Friday while the Rebels will also meet the Waratahs at 8.40pm.
On Saturday, the Bulls will clash with the Hurricanes at 5.10am, the Stormers will face the Blues at 3.05am, Sharks will take on the Lions at 5.10am, Highlanders and the Crusaders will meet at 6.35pm while the Reds will take on Western Force at 8.40pm.
