Wallabies Lolesio Returns To Super Rugby Action After Concussion

Australia flyhalf Noah Lolesio will return to action for the ACT Brumbies against Fijian Drua in Super Rugby Pacific on Friday after three weeks on the sidelines with concussion.

The playmaker suffered a head knock in the season-opening win over the Drua and missed the Brumbies losses to Western Force and Waikato Chiefs as well as their stunning victory over Auckland Blues at Eden Park last Friday.

We had a chance to bring him back for the Blues game but we wanted to give him an extra rest and make sure the head was 100, Brumbies coach Stephen Larkham told reporters in Canberra after naming his team on Wednesday.

Really good to have him back in. Obviously, he came off the tour last year with the Wallabies with a lot of confidence. Started the season with us with a lot of confidence as well. Im really looking forward to seeing how he plays this week.

Lolesios return will also be a welcome boost for Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt little more than three months out from the arrival of the British and Irish Lions.
