Act Brumbies

**FILE** A Monday, Feb. 13, 2017 image reissued Monday, April 10, 2017 of Super Rugby captains (L to R) Sam Carter of the Brumbies, Michael Hooper of the Waratahs, Nic Stirzaker of the Rebels, James Slipper of the Reds and Tatafu Polota-Nau (sitting in for Matt Hodgson) of the Western Force posing for a photograph with the competition's trophy during the 2017 Super Rugby Media Launch event in Brisbane. The Western Force and Melbourne Rebels will learn within three days which of them is to be axed, Australian Rugby Union chairman Cameron Clyne says. It's part of a broader restructure of an unwieldy and unpopular Super Rugby competition format, which is to be slashed from 18 teams to 15 after this season, with two South African sides also to go.
