Brumbies fighting for pride against Force

14/05/2008 12:48:00 PM.  | 
The Brumbies have made two changes to their team for their final match of the Super 14 rugby season against the Western Force at Subiaco Oval on Friday night.

Winger Francis Fainifo and scrumhalf Patrick Phibbs return to the starting line-up after coming off the bench in last week's 28-17 loss to the Bulls in Pretoria, with Afusipa Taumoepeau and Joshua Holmes moving to the reserves.

Coach Laurie Fisher says Friday's match against the Force is an important one in building towards 2009.

"Our goal isn't to do anything radically different in our last match and throw the ball around frivolously," he said.

"We have a focus on consolidating on what we've worked on throughout the season and continue developing towards 2009.

"Over the past few weeks we've created a lot of opportunities that we haven't capitalised on.

"We have a mixture of experience within the squad and it's important that we're aware of our decision making and probably show a little more patience when we create those opportunities.

Brumbies: Mark Gerrard, Adam Ashley-Cooper, Stirling Mortlock (c), Tyrone Smith, Francis Fainifo, Christian Lealiifano, Patrick Phibbs, Stephen Hoiles, George Smith, Mitchell Chapman, Mark Chisholm,  Alister Campbell, Guy Shepherdson, John Ulugia, Nic Henderson. Res: Saia Faingaa, Salesi Maafu, Peter Kimlin, Julian Salvi, Joshua Holmes, Matt Toomua, Afusipa Taumoepeau.
