Durutalo to Start in Canberra

New Yorker Andrew Durutalo will start Saturday’s Super Rugby clash against the Brumbies in Canberra. The USA Eagles back-rower retains his starting spot at opened flanker, the position he has been utilized at throughout the season.

The Sunwolves opponents will be without Puma Tomás Cubelli. The Argentine scrum half has earned his first rest of the season after having started all prior matches for the Canberra-based franchise.
