Flank Jahrome Brown will earn his first Vodacom Super Rugby start when the Brumbies face the Stormers at Newlands on Saturday.
Coach Dan McKellar has made just one change to the lineup that beat the Lions in Canberra last week, bringing in Brown at the expense of Lachlan McCaffrey.
Brown’s inclusion results in a back-row reshuffle, with Tom Cusack moving to blindside flank and Pete Samu to No 8.
Murray Douglas takes Brown’s place on the bench, while Wharenui Hawera replaces Irae Simone in the match 23.
Brumbies – 15 Tom Banks, 14 Henry Speight, 13 Tevita Kuridrani, 12 Tom Wright, 11 Toni Pulu, 10 Christian Lealiifano (c), 9 Joe Powell, 8 Pete Samu, 7 Jahrome Brown, 6 Tom Cusack, 5 Sam Carter, 4 Rory Arnold, 3 Allan Alaalatoa, 2 Folau Fainga’a, 1 Scott Sio.
Subs: 16 Josh Mann-Rea, 17 James Slipper, 18 Leslie Leuluaialii-Makin, 19 Darcy Swain, 20 Murray Douglas, 21 Matt Lucas, 22 Wharenui Hawera, 23 Andy Muirhead.
