Wallabies back Christian Lealiifano was awarded the ACT Brumbies’ top prize at an emotional club function on Friday as he continues his battle against leukaemia. Lealiifano’s diagnosis was announced by the Canberra-based Super Rugby team a month ago, prompting an outpouring of global support for the 28-year-old playmaker. Named the Brett Robinson Players’ Player of the Year and also Best Brumbies Back, co-captain Lealiifano was released from hospital this week after a first round of chemotherapy.
