MELBOURNE (Reuters) - The ACT Brumbies' hopes of securing a home quarter-final in Super Rugby Pacific have dimmed due to the absence of three Wallabies from the line-up for the final regular season clash against the Melbourne Rebels on Friday.
Captain Allan Alaalatoa has a calf injury, while fellow prop James Slipper is on leave after the birth of his first child. Noah Lolesio is also ruled out after suffering concussion symptoms after last weekend's loss to the Waikato Chiefs.
