Coach Clark Laidlaw has announced Scott Curry and Tim Mikkelson will co-captain the team for the busy 2017/2018 season that includes the Commonwealth Games and Rugby World Cup Sevens.

Brumbies sign Chance Peni


 Brumbies have signed former Wests Tigers and Western Force winger Chance Peni on a two-year deal for the 2018 Super Rugby season.


In late 2016 Peni decided to return home to Perth and take up a contract with the Western Force under new Head Coach Dave Wessels. 
 

A skillful winger with silky skills and electric pace, Peni dominated the early rounds of Super Rugby in 2017, scoring a highlight reel of tries and proving he had a bright future in the 15-man game.
