Hunt hits hard and loves it

REMEMBER the numberplate. The No. 10 will have flashed by and left the scene of a hit-and-run at Canberra Stadium tonight.

ACT Brumbies fans fancy that flyhalf Matt Toomua will make Karmichael Hunt another victim of his full-frontal hits that make him one of the best defenders in his position in Super Rugby.

Rattle Hunt and ruin the Reds. That's the game plan.

Here's a thought. It might not be the No. 10 you think leaving a mark.

Several of the six Wallabies in the Brumbies backline will be wondering just who hit them if Hunt has reason to put them in his sights.

Hunt has shown promise in many new facets of play coming to rugby but dusting off an old skill is part of what makes him a dangerous package.

He hits hard and loves it. He enjoyed the tackles of a sort he could make in AFL but he just loves the sore shoulders he's feeling again making the decisive hits that peppered his years in rugby league with Brisbane.

A week ago, he smashed All Black Colin Slade to the Ballymore turf.

A week earlier he slammed Rebels winger Dom Shipperley in Cairns in between making two rattling clean-outs.

The Hunt experiment at flyhalf is fascinating but the changing of the guard with this Queensland team en masse should not be downplayed because of it.

Centre-winger Campbell Magnay is on the bench tonight at 18. Young Adam Korczyk, a fair-haired backrower goer from University, and back-up flyhalf Duncan Paia'aua are waiting for a chance too, while 100kg Chris Kuridrani gets a crack in the starting side on the wing.

Games in the National Rugby Championship have prepared the next wave like Kuridrani far better than if they were treading water in aimless late season training.

The Reds are outsiders tonight.

There is not a lot of deception to the backline make-up but the Reds have never fielded nearly 200kg of running power in the centres before either.

Samu Kerevi and Chris Feauai-Sautia have to play with the authority their size suggests they can.

World Cup year is about to begin. There is nothing surer than the squad you've picked in your mind will be flipped in multiple areas by selection time.

It's high stakes, not just for the Reds but for all the Australian sides.
