Controversial former Wallabies lock Justin Harrison has been named in the Brumbies leadership group just five days after completing an eight month suspension.

Harrison, who has returned to the Canberra-based franchise he last represented in 2003, was suspended after he admitted to taking cocaine during his stint with English club Bath.

The 34-capped Test forward also admitted to shouting out "class A, it's OK, everyone's doing it" on a microphone on a Bath coach heading to a party in London last year.

Lovely culture to be exposing to all the young players at the Brumbies

I eagerly await media scruinty of the wisdom of this decision, and inevitable questions on the Brumbies culture and team dynamics.

Won't hold my breath though.

Consider it Swee, Scotty Fava....a Brumby, Matty Henjak....a Brumby, Matt Giteau.....a Brumby, Justin Harrison...a Brumby, I could go on if I could be bothered coming up with more names.

The Brumby team culture is well documented, Harrison fits right in, and will provide an excellent example for young Brumbies......well he would if there were any!

The good news for Yak is if he returns to the ACT, he can ditch the 'disgraced' tag that gets attached to his name and become "Controverisal" or "colourful and outspoken"

[GIGS20]

I don't want the Yak to go to Canberra, with a decent halfback deciding when not to pass the ball to Giteau, they will be a far more frightening team.

Excellent decision! Nothing like a good role model for the kiddies
I wonder if finding a good role model was hard to come by so they just picked the oldest players in the team? Surely George Smith, Stirling Mortlock or Rocky Elsom would have been a better, less controversial inclusion.
