CAPTAIN Sam Carter knows another set piece disaster will spell trouble for the Brumbies in tonight’s Super Rugby match against the Rebels (7.45pm AEDT).
Nothing in the scrum went right in last week’s 18-10 defeat to the Reds, but Carter said the Brumbies had been working hard to ensure it didn’t happen again.
The new look Rebels host the match at AAMI Park undefeated and the clash shapes as a defining one for the Australian conference.
