Boost for Brumbies ahead of Lions clash

Cape Town - Brumbies flyhalf Matt Toomua will join the Canberra-based outfit ahead of their Super Rugby clash against the Lions in Johannesburg this Saturday.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Toomua will arrive in Johannesburg on Tuesday.

Toomua has missed the past four weeks with an ankle injury but is set to be injected straight into the starting side to play the Lions.

Despite an agonising 25-24 loss to the Stormers at Newlands last weekend, the Brumbies (33 points) still hold a one-point lead in the Australian conference ahead of the Waratahs (32 points) and the Melbourne Rebels (29 points).

Saturday’s clash at Emirates Airline Park kicks off at 17:05.
