Fijian born Tevita Kuridrani is set to make his first appearance of the season from the Brumbies bench.

This is after Joseph Tomane will replace winger and Fijian born Henry Speight who has been ruled out after suffering from bruised ribs.

Kuridrani played during the Brumbies pre-season match against the Western Force where has not failed to live up to his hype, cutting through defensive lines and causing wingers and fullbacks headaches whenever he is involved with play.

He also made his Australian Sevens debut in Dubai later in 2010, travelling the globe with the shortened version’s rep team until the end of 2011 where he was spotted by Brumbies caochJake White.

The Brumbies will take on the Rebels at 8.40 tonight.
