The Canberra Raiders take on the Brisbane Broncos on Saturday night for their round two home opener.
With both teams coming off cracking round one victories expect another thriller in Bruce.
Josh Papali'i and Jamal Fogarty welcomed Brumbies onto field, Len Ikitau scored hat-trick. Brumbies win.
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.

Ricky Stuart admits he's not an "altar boy", but says comments about referees in post-match press conferences are never personal attacks.
