Lealiifano back for Brumbies' super final

Brumbies co-captain Christian Lealiifano will make his return to Super Rugby in Friday's quarter-final.

Cancer survivor Christian Lealiifano will make a remarkable return for the Brumbies in Friday's quarter-final against the Hurricanes.

Lealiifano has been named on the bench, less than a year after being diagnosed with leukaemia.

His fellow co-captain Sam Carter will also return to the line up with coach Stephen Larkham bringing back a host of stars who were rested in last week's loss to the Chiefs.
