The experienced but injured duo will sit out Saturday night's crunch match at GIO Stadium, as the ACT team desperately tries to recover from a 3-5 record this season.
BRUMBIES: Tom Banks, Henry Speight, Tevita Kuridrani, Andrew Smith, Chance Peni, Wharenui Hawera, Joe Powell, Isi Naisarani, Tom Cusack, Blake Enever, Sam Carter, Rory Arnold, Allan Alaalatoa, Folau Fainga'a, Scott Sio.
