After strong showings on Saturday night, Brumbies' Fijian flyers Tevita Kurindrani and Henry Speight should expect to find themselves in the Wallabies starting XV against their native country next Saturday.

Kurindrani hasn't been at his devastating best this season but he crashed over for a try in the second half and put in a shift that won't have done his Wallabies number 13 chances any harm.

Queensland Reds skipper Samu Kerevi was injured on Friday night which means Australian coach Michael Cheika will almost certainly start Kurindrani at outside centre.

Brumbies coach Stephen Larkham doubles as the Wallabies backs coach and took Kurindrani off for the first time this season, with the wrecking ball leaving leaving the field after 65 minutes.

Perhaps acting on orders from Cheika, the Brumbies coach also brought Henry Speight off in the second half with the winger's performance reiterating his status as the Brumbies best back this season.

The flying Fijian will be desperately unlucky not to start outside Kurindrani next week and expect to see plenty of passion from the dynamic duo against their country of birth.

The pair shouldn't be the only Brumbies in Cheika's starting XV with prop Allan Alaalatoa and scrumhalf revelation Joe Powell well and truly in contention.

Will Genia has only just arrived back from a long European campaign and with Nick Phipps under an injury cloud, Powell looks set make his Wallabies debut with a number nine on his back.

REBELS' YEAR FROM HELL CONTINUES

It has been the season from hell for the Melbourne Rebels with their only win coming in a shock upset against the Brumbies in the week Melbourne were officially put on the Super Rugby chopping block.

The Rebels still don't know their fate next season as the ARU keep the painful saga rolling on, despite pleas from players and coaches to end the misery.

The Rebels play the other Australian team facing the cut when they travel to Perth to meet the Western Force in the penultimate round of the season for a match that could play a role in which team is axed.

The Rebels have contracted 52 players this year with injuries ravaging the side on a weekly basis.

Coach Tony McGahan conceded at one point the only reason players weren't dropped was because he had nobody else to choose.

BRUMBIES CHASE UNLIKELY TITLE

The ACT Brumbies secured a fifth consecutive home final after dispatching the Melbourne Rebels thanks to a second half rampage, which earned them a winning bonus point.

The Brumbies will use their final two matches against the Queensland Reds and Waikato Chiefs to build momentum into finals and push for what would be a remarkable Super Rugby title.

It's one of the most perplexing ladders in world sport, but the Brumbies aren't complaining because they will host a final on Friday July 21 or Sunday July 23, likely against a team with more competition points.

It could be a case of the Brumbies facing the the Chiefs twice in as many weeks with the Hamilton based team currently sitting in fifth on the extended ladder.

The Brumbies will spend the next six weeks preparing for that clash to ensure their season doesn't end at home for the second year in a row.
