Brumbies not getting carried away by emphatic Super Rugby start

The Canberra-based side emphatically crushed the defending champions Canterbury Crusaders 50–24 last week to end a losing streak in the New Zealand city that stretched 12 games. It followed a similarly dominant bonus-point win to open their season against Western Force to leave them top of the standings, racking up 106 points from two games. Larkham has named an unchanged line-up spearheaded by veteran James Slipper for a third straight week to face the Auckland Blues at home on Saturday and said there would be no complacency.
