Super Rugby: JP Smith Set For Brumbies Debut Against Countrymen

Brumbies Rugby Media Release - Cape Town raised, Jean-Pierre Smith will make his professional starting debut against his home town on Saturday night when the loose head prop claims the No.1 jersey to face the Stormers at GIO Stadium, Canberra. Another successful EPS story, Smith makes his way to the starting team via the Brumbies bench where he has featured alongside twin brother, Ruan, since round 2. Scott Sio’s ankle injury has forced the first change to the Brumbies front row in 2014 and is one of four changes to the starting side which beat the Waratahs in Canberra last weekend. Leon Power has also been forced out through injury, moving Scott Fardy back to lock and Jordan Smiler into the starting side at blind-side flanker.
