MELBOURNE (Reuters) - ACT Brumbies coach Stephen Larkham has put the winless Canberra team on notice by dropping Australia loose forward Scott Fardy from his match-day squad for the Super Rugby match against Western Force on Friday.

The 39-test flanker was ineffectual in the Brumbies' 27-22 home loss to the Durban-based Sharks on Saturday, a day after it was announced he would leave the club at the end of the season to play for Irish club Leinster.
