The Canberra outfit that lost 37-24 to the Crusaders last weekend go into the do-or-die clash with most of their big name players.

Wallaby flank David Pocock has been cleared of a concusssion and retains his starting berth while Christian Lealiifano will pull the strings at flyhalf in his 100th Super Rugby game.

Matt Toomua will play off the bench as he did last week against the Crusaders. The Wallaby utility back is still being managed carefully after suffering two ankle injuries this year.

In their last meeting last month, the Stormers beat the Brumbies 25-24.

Brumbies (15-1):

Jesse Mogg, Henry Speight, Tevita Kuridrani, Robbie Coleman, Joe Tomane, Christian Lealiifano, Nic White, Ita Vaea, David Pocock, Scott Fardy, Blake Enever, Rory Arnold, Ben Alexander, Stephen Moore (c), Scott Sio.

Replacements: Josh Mann-Rea, Allan Alaalatoa, Ruan Smith, Jordan Smiler, Jarrad Butler, Michael Dowsett, Matt Toomua, James Dargaville, Les Makin, Nigel Ah Wong.
