ANOTHER WEEK, another
game, but Highlanders assistant
coach Tony Brown admits it is just
not one more match.
The Highlanders got into their
work yesterday after two days off,
beginning preparations to take on
the Brumbies in a quarterfinal in
Canberra on Friday night.
Brown said the side was getting
excited about the game but this
week was about getting the body
and mind right.
“There will be very little training
[this week] and it is more about recovering
from a pretty tough game
against the Chiefs and us getting
ready to play against a pretty good
Brumbies side,’’ he said.
“We have had a couple of days
off and the guys are a bit sore. But
it is quarter-finals time and we
have been preparing since December
to make it to this stage. Everyone
wants to play and everyone
wants to be ready.
“It’s a bigger game and guys
get more excited around play-off
games. The same as the opposition
– they will be bringing a lot
of intensity for the first 20-30
minutes. So it is going to be a huge
challenge early on.
“It’s just about playing good
footy and backing our game and
the way we play the game. Just
making sure defensively we are
clear in what they are going to
throw at us.’’
Brown said as wet weather was
forecast, the side might have to
vary the game plan although it had
to back itself and not get sucked
into playing a style which suited
the Brumbies.

“The Australian teams are
always a tough challenge for us.
They have got a lot of good rugby
players and play a pretty good style
of footy. Every time we play an
Aussie team we know we are in for
a tough game.’’
Brown said the Highlanders’
kicking game might come into
play but it depended on many
factors.
“We’ve had a pretty good look at
the Brumbies and we have got our
plans in place . . . there’ll be plenty
of forward driving.’’

Much for the Brumbies will
hinge around the availability of
loose forward David Pocock, who
tries to battle back from an eye
socket fracture.
Brown said the Highlanders
were preparing to face Pocock but
the conditions were also going to
make it tough.
“Canberra is not a great place to
play at night and it is meant to be
raining. So we will have to prepare
for the wet weather. We will just
have to vary our game.’’
