Playmaker Matt Toomua will return to the Brumbies’ starting line-up for their Super Rugby qualifying final against the Stormers in Cape Town.

Toomua, who was originally named on the bench for the sudden-death clash kicking off at 1am AEST on Sunday, will play at inside centre after proving his fitness following two separate ankle injuries.

The late change means Robbie Coleman will move to the bench, while Nigel Ah Wong replaces James Dargaville as a reserve in the 23-man squad.
