Hoiles heads to Brumbies

With an eye to next year's rugby World Cup, loose forward Stephen Hoiles has quit New South Wales to link up with the Brumbies.

The 24-year-old signed on with the two-time Super champions for the next two years after a three-way tug of war for his services with the Reds and the Waratahs.

Despite having played for the Wallabies, Hoiles struggled to get the game time he wanted this year at the Waratahs where there is a wealth of backrow options.
