CA Brumbies fullback Julian Huxley will make his return to rugby today for the Brumby Runners when they take on the Junior Waratahs at Sydney’s Knox Grammar School. Huxley’s rugby career was postponed in 2008 after routine scans following a head knock detected a brain tumour.

CA Brumbies fullback Julian Huxley has received clearance to return to playing rugby. Huxley’s career was put on hold two years ago following the discovery of a brain tumour. The tumour was detected during a routine check after suffering a head knock against the Reds at Canberra Stadium on Saturday, 1 March, 2008.

CA Brumbies loosehead prop Ben Alexander has spearheaded his side’s tough 24-22 win over the Sharks at Canberra Stadium tonight. The ACT front-rower’s crossed for both of his side’s tries in a display built on excellent scrummaging, unrelenting defence and providing his side with some timely turnover ball on his way to man-of-the-match honours.
