The ACT Brumbies can make a strong Super Rugby Pacific statement, if they can snap their losing streak at Eden Park and beat the Blues on Saturday night.
Cormac Daly, who moved to Sydney last year for an office job, will become the first Irishman to start for the Queensland Reds since 1997.
Stephen Larkham says his high-flying Brumbies must not rest on their laurels despite a five-game winning streak that has them third on the Super Rugby ladder.
