The CA Technologies Brumbies have finished their Captain's Run ahead of Friday night's match against the Canterbury Crusaders in Nelson.

Mitch Chapman has been bought back into the team after being suspended for last week's match against the Reds.

Making way for him is Colby Faingaa who moves from blindside flanker to openside and Julian Salvi who shifts to the bench.

Against the magnificent backdrop of the mountains surrounding Nelson, the CA Technologies Brumbies looked sharp and alert as they took the field for their final training session.

The match, which has been moved from Christchurch to Nelson's Trafalgar Park following last week's earthquakes, kicks-off at 7.35pm local time, 5.35pm AEST.
