I THINK THAT THIS GUY IS ONE OF THE BEST CENTRES IN OZ

...... and that is really saying something, given the talent that we currently have in our three quarters....Smith, Mortlock, Horne, Cross, Ioane, Hynes, Carter, Tahu , O'Connor, etc not to mention the guys on the fringe like Rathbone, Fairbanks, Turinui... however, revisit this site just before the next World Cup and see if I was right.. I will!

Tyrone Smith signs two-year extension to stay at Brumbies until 2011

May 01, 2009
Brumbies centre Tyrone Smith has signed with the Super 14 franchise for another two seasons, securing his services through to the 2011 Rugby World Cup.

Smith, younger brother of Australia flanker George Smith, joined the Brumbies from UK Super League club Harlequins for the 2008 season.

He went on to play in every match before being named Australian Rookie of the Year.

This season, he has played in all 10 matches for the Brumbies, starting in seven at inside or outside centre.

The 25-year-old, who starts at outside centre against the Queensland Reds on Saturday, said he's pleased to remain with the Brumbies.

"I've really enjoyed my first two years at the Brumbies and I'm really looking forward to staying on until 2011,'' he said.

"The reason I came to the Brumbies was the chance to play with George at a club that would develop my game and play a good style of rugby."
