Lachie Hooper’s Brumbies Debut: Brother Tom and Lions, Last Game Together!

Lachie Hooper’s Debut with the Brumbies: A Family Affair and Challenge against the Lions

The anticipated debut of Lachie Hooper with the ACT Brumbies is just around the corner. The young player will have the opportunity to share the field with his older brother, Tom, in a match against the British and Irish Lions. The match, which will be played in Canberra, could be the last for the Hooper brothers together in the Brumbies jersey. Lachie, 21, will start the match from the bench, after receiving the opportunity from coach Stephen Larkham.

It’s incredible when he takes the field.

Larkham has praised Lachie’s talent, whom he has followed and helped develop over the years in the ACT rugby system. Tom, 24 years old, returns to the starting lineup after playing 12 minutes in the Wallabies’ victory over Fiji. However, the team will be affected by the absence of several key players.

Wednesday’s match will also mark Cameron Orr’s debut with the Brumbies. The 30-year-old player was recruited from the Seattle Seawolves for this match, but has extensive experience in Super Rugby. The challenge of facing the Lions will be arduous for Larkham’s team. The tourists have demonstrated their power in their previous matches. Wednesday’s match will also serve as a farewell for the Brumbies for Jack Debreczeni and Ben O’Donnell, who will join the French team Aurillac.
