The Canberra Times

Who ever thought they'd see Josh Papali'i standing on the halfway line before an ACT Brumbies game kicked off?

But this was no shock code switch. The veteran Canberra Raiders prop and teammate Jamal Fogarty welcomed the Brumbies onto the field before their 38-21 win over the Fijian Drua at Canberra Stadium on Friday night.

Man of the match Len Ikitau stole the show when it mattered by scoring a hat-trick as the Brumbies clinched back-to-back wins, momentarily moving his side into second on the ladder and setting up a showdown with Dan McKellar's NSW Waratahs in Sydney next week.
