Brumbies make five changes for Rebels No Ben Mowen. No Christian Lealiifano. No Stephen Moore. The Brumbies have lost seven of their best players to either national duties or injury for Friday night's Super Rugby clash against the Rebels at Canberra Stadium. And all at a time when they are just a bonus point victory away from securing the Australian conference. The Brumbies will make five starting changes, with Wallabies hopefuls Pat McCabe and Dan Palmer returning from their injuries just in time to fill the inside centre and prop spots made vacant by Wallabies squad members Lealiifano and Ben Alexander. Impressive young hooker Siliva Siliva will start for Moore, while lock Leon Power is brought into the side at second row, Scott Fardy moves to blindside flanker, and Peter Kimlin slides across to No.8 for Mowen. Clyde Rathbone also returns on the wing for Wallabies squad member Joe Tomane. Meanwhile, hard hitting enforcer Fotu Auelua has been ruled out with a shoulder injury and will join fellow backrowers George Smith and David Pocock in the injury ward. Fortunately for the ACT franchise, their opponents look to be reaching even deeper with 10 changes made to their squad. With Scott Higginbotham sidelined with a shoulder injury, Gareth Delve is back at No.8 and will again lead the side. "I think the (Brumbies) have got quality across the board and they've juggled their squad well this season," Delve said. Other key players missing for the Rebels will be Test players James O'Connor and Nick Phipps as they prepare for the British and Irish Lions. The most notable inclusion is of former Wallabies halfback Luke Burgess, set to win his first Melbourne cap from the bench after recently returning from France. He'll go up against impressive Brumbies halfback and stand-in captain Nic White to possibly snag one of the remaining six Wallabies squad spots. White's recent kicking game has been superb, sharing the load with five-eighth Matt Toomua and Jesse Mogg to keep oppositions buried within their own half. Brumbies coach Jake White noted that the Rebels scored two of their tries off charge downs in their 33-20 loss to the Queensland Reds last week, yet hinted his side wouldn't be pressured off their game plan. "I also noticed they have 14 in the defensive line and one guy standing back, so you've probably got to kick a little bit more clever," he said. Brumbies: Jesse Mogg, Henry Speight, Tevita Kuridrani, Pat McCabe, Clyde Rathbone, Matt Toomua, Nic White (capt), Peter Kimlin, Colby Faingaa, Scott Fardy, Sam Carter, Leon Power, Dan Palmer, Siliva Siliva, Scott Sio. Res: Joshua Mann-Rea, Ruan Smith, Etienne Oosthuizen, Jordan Smiler, Ian Prior, Robbie Coleman, Zack Holmes.
