ACT Brumbies trial against Western Force rescheduled after Perth lockdown

But that's because the scrumhalf has been actively avoiding it.

"I don't want to think about that yet. Just go low and pray," Lonergan said.

Kuridrani could be set for a homecoming next week if the trial between the Brumbies and Western Force at Viking Park goes ahead.

The fixture has been postponed to Tuesday after Perth entered a five-day lockdown in response to the discovery of the UK variant of COVID-19 in a hotel worker.

ACT Health declared the COVID-19 affected areas of Western Australia a hotspot, meaning anyone who has been in Perth since January 25 must self-isolate until Friday night - with the measures to be reviewed later this week.

The rescheduled trial will take place pending the Force's ability to travel to the ACT.

"We're still preparing as if we're playing a game," Lonergan said.

"If the Force doesn't come over, I think there's a couple of other plans in place so that we're definitely going to have a game.

"It's been a normal week for us so far. It's been good to get a game week in because some of the boys have not done a preparation week at the Brumbies yet, so it's a good trial for us."

The Brumbies are slated to start their title defence against the Force in Perth on February 19, with that fixture now pending on restrictions.

Lonergan, his brother Lachlan and Allan Alaalatoa relocated to Canberra from their NSW homes to ensure they would not be denied entry to the state for round one.

"My brother and I were about three kilometres [into NSW] and Allan was fairly close as well. We've moved to Kingston, into a nice little apartment there," Lonergan said.

"There's no mum's cooking and cleaning though, that was a bit annoying. It's nice and it's what we have to do."
