The Brumbies have received a massive boost ahead of their clash against the Reds with star flanker Michael Hooper avoiding suspension.

SANZAR reduced its penalty on Hooper this morning after a judicial hearing last night.

Hooper was cited for a lifting tackle on Wellington Hurricanes No8 Victor Vito in the Brumbies 37-25 win last Friday night. 

Brumbies will play Reds at 9.40pm this Saturday.
