BRUMBIES lock Adam Wallace-Harrison will leave the club at the end of the Super 14 season to take up a lucrative two-year deal with the Kobe club in Japan.

A legitimate Perth rugby product before Western Force came into being, the 200cm Wallace-Harrison, 28, has been unable to win a regular place for the Brumbies after being a fixture in 2006-2007.

Australia A recognition in 2005 and 2007 was worthy time in the rugby-playing spotlight for the lock, who first made his mark in Queensland as a stripling with the Sunnybank club.

Brumbies full-back Mark Gerrard has been named to make his return from a hamstring strain in Saturday's clash against the Blues in Auckland.

No. 8 Stephen Hoiles has been ruled out and will be covered by Julian Salvi.
