Discipline looms as a major key for the Brumbies as they seek to upset the Crusaders in Nelson this evening to give new coach Tony Rea his first Super rugby victory.
The Canberra based franchise have lost their last two games despite scoring more tries than the opposition and facing a Crusaders machine which is seemingly clicking into gear.
Media Manager, Elliot Woods said the sacking of Coach Andy Friend will not affect the team which is focused to beat the Crusaders at their home ground.
Woods added that the deadly earthquake to the region has only galvanized a squad who dismissed the Waratahs in relatively comfortable fashion at the same venue last week with the twin threat of Sonny Bill Williams and Robbie Fruean being a threat in the mid field for the Brumbies.
The Crusaders and the Brumbies game kicks-off at 6.35pm.
