Contacts: Investor Relations Contact: Crescendo Communications, LLC Tel: (212) 671-1021 SWAG@crescendo-ir.com Press Contact: Howie Turkenkopf press@stran.comUnited States national team captain Christian Pulisic was forced off the field with an injury during the first half of AC Milan 's 2-1 loss to Atalanta on Friday. The 26-year-old was replaced by Ruben Loftus-Cheek in the 38th minute of the match at Atalanta's Gewiss Stadium after being fouled by midfielder Mario Pašalić. The American sat down on the ground in pain, touching his ankle and calf. Despite attempting to play through the discomfort, he signaled to the bench for a substitution. Pulisic was then helped off the field and replaced with the score tied at 1-1. Ademola Lookman scored a late winner for Atalanta that sent the hosts top of Serie A and stretched their winning streak to nine games in all competitions. In his second season with Milan, Pulisic has scored eight goals and provided six assists in 19 games. Pulisic's injury is a concern for his club ahead of a crucial Champions League match against Red Star Belgrade next Wednesday.

"There's enough on record to say it has been a challenging year," Thomson said. "But under the circumstances, we got through in the best position under the circumstances that were available from a business perspective." Rugby Australia seized control of the Brumbies after what felt like an eternity of boardroom battles. Club officials were left with no other option if Australia's most successful Super Rugby club was going to keep its head above water. You could forgive Thomson for switching his phone off the moment he locked his office door for the Christmas break. But the nature of the job means the mind is always ticking. That's just the territory he lives in. "There's a little bit of time just to recharge the battery, but you've got to hit the ground running at the start of January," Thompson said. "We've got a tough start to the season." But before we get to the season opener in Suva's searing heat and humidity against the Fijian Drua, or the back-to-back trips across the Tasman to face both of 2024's grand finalists inside the opening month , let's take a moment. The Brumbies endured plenty of highs and lows in 2024. Pictures by Keegan Carroll and Sitthixay Ditthavong Australia's Super Rugby teams have undergone a dramatic makeover. The Wallabies have given success-starved fans a glimmer of hope, and the British and Irish Lions are coming to mark the first checkpoint in what RA trumpets as the game's golden decade. Here are the biggest headlines from this year and the reasons to be excited about 2025. BIGGEST STORY OF 2024 Brumbies chairman Matt Nobbs might have lost count of how many nights he spent staring at the ceiling with his mind in overdrive, because "the last thing we wanted to do as a board or an organisation was to fold." Thomson looked every part of a man who had been fighting for a year while RA chief Phil Waugh declared the national union would seize control of the cash-strapped Brumbies . Brumbies chief Phil Thomson, Rugby Australia chief Phil Waugh, and Brumbies chairman Matt Nobbs committed to working together to save the club. Picture by Gary Ramage The Brumbies had resisted a centralisation push for 12 months, fighting the heavy-handed approach of former RA chairman Hamish McLennan. They fired back at relocation questions, desperately searched for ways to end years of financial turmoil and endured sleepless nights to no avail. Handing the keys to RA was the only way the club could survive. "It was the only option that was available to us and it was the best option for the professional game and rugby within the ACT and the region. It was the best outcome under the circumstances," Thomson said. "There's nothing different outwardly. The staff are dressed in a Brumbies uniform and there's no difference for them from the day-to-day front. It's just the back of house that has changed with the operating model." A new Brumbies board was supposed to be established by August 1. The club heads into the new year still waiting on RA to settle on the make-up of the board. SEMI-FINAL ANGUISH Can the Brumbies finally get over the semi-final hurdle? Stephen Larkham will get an idea of where his side - boasting a host of Wallabies stars and two-time John Eales Medallist Rob Valetini - stands in the opening month, with away games against the Chiefs and Blues in rounds three and four. The Blues and the Chiefs handed the Brumbies two of the club's worst losses in history throughout 2024, and the ACT's semi-final exit at Eden Park suggested there was still a fair gap between themselves and the competition's best. Allan Alaalatoa is desperate for grand final success. Picture by Keegan Carroll Plenty feel like every Brumbies campaign builds to an inevitable semi-final defeat across the Tasman. If they want crowds back, it might take grand final glory to make people sit up and take notice. "Everyone is extremely disappointed to fall at the semi-final post again, three years in a row, and we know we want to go one better into that final," Thomson said. "Now it's up to the group to continue to learn as they have each year and continue to improve themselves to put themselves in a position to win the championship." YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND IN ME Fans stood on Canberra Stadium seats and lifted banners demanding the ACT Brumbies "bring back our Friend". Thirteen years later, they've got their wish. Andy Friend might have run a little late to the press conference announcing his return as Brumbies coach - this time taking charge of the Super Rugby Women's program - but the first day on the job meant he didn't yet have a pass to get into the nearest car park. Andy Friend is back at the Brumbies. Picture by Sitthixay Ditthavong Friend is daring to dream about the Wallaroos becoming the code's hottest ticket and changing the Australian rugby narrative. Speaking of the Wallaroos, here are three players to watch in 2025: Australian sevens stars Bienne Terita, Demi Hayes and Tia Hinds will join the Brumbies in a bid to earn a Wallaroos call-up for the World Cup in August. REASONS TO DREAM They'll sell out the MCG, Stadium Australia and Lang Park. A quick glance at what's left suggests the British and Irish Lions will pack out Canberra Stadium too . More than 500,000 tickets have been sold for the Lions tour, which looms as a major coup for Australian rugby after years of financial nightmares. A heartening spring tour has even sparked hope the Wallabies can win the series. Some change from when people were saying the Australians were so poor they didn't deserve a Lions tour. The Brumbies upset the Lions in 2013. Picture by Melissa Adams The Lions will return to Canberra Stadium on July 9 for the first time since they were stunned by the Brumbies in front of 21,655 in 2013. The majority of tickets have already been snapped up. Some 40,000 British and Irish fans will travel to Australia for the tour, and a legion will follow the Lions to Canberra. "It is a great opportunity, it's a once in 12 years opportunity," Thomson said. "The Lions tour basically sells itself with the number of supporters we have coming in from overseas and the interest that drives from rugby supporters within Australia. "As you saw with the results in the last tour with the Wallabies, there's a lot of people interested in the Wallabies, there's a lot of people wanting to have something to cheer for. "Hopefully our Super Rugby sides can start that off in February and give fans something to cheer for at both Super Rugby and international level." So, is 2025 the year rugby finally turns around in Australia? RA bosses will certainly hope so as they prepare to negotiate a new broadcast deal beyond 2025. Nine and Stan - who hold the current rights with a deal worth $30 million per year - are keen to extend for another five years, but RA will only sign a deal if the price is right. Then you're rolling into a men's World Cup in 2027 and a women's World Cup in 2029. Rugby fans have a reason to be bullish. "The next five years is a big opportunity for rugby in Australia," Thomson said.
