ANALYSIS: It has been a long time between drinks, but the Brumbies are ready to add a third Super Rugby trophy to their case
Lots of things have changed about rugby since the Brumbies last won a Super Rugby championship back in 2004.
In the 24 seasons prior to the disrupted 2020 season, the away team has claimed the title just six times. "I remember going back to halfway, and I had this vision of the Super Rugby trophy filled with beer," Alexander said this week in Canberra. But Alexander has loved being involved in the game again after retiring from the Brumbies at the end of the 2018 season."The club rugby comp's going really well, and the 'Brums' have been playing awesome all year despite all the adversity that's been thrown their way — the bushfires earlier in the year and all the smoke, and the 40C game to start the season. And then coronavirus hit.
