Volkswacht Bodensee - In-demand Brumbies coach Larkham extends contract

The former Wallabies flyhalf had been linked to a role within the All Blacks set-up, but committed his immediate future to the Canberra-based side.

"I'm really excited to continue working with this group of players," said Larkham.

"We've built a squad with tremendous potential, and I want to help them develop and deliver rugby that the Canberra community can be proud of."

The Brumbies have consistently been Australia's top team since Larkham took over in 2022 and have started the 2026 season with three straight wins.

That included their first victory over the Canterbury Crusaders in Christchurch for 26 years.

Last year, they snapped a 12-year drought at Eden Park with a win over the Auckland Blues.

"Locking Steve down ahead of interest from other major suitors is a huge win for Canberra and the Brumbies," said club chairman and his former Test teammate Joe Roff.

"His commitment to the club ensures stability and allows us to continue building a high-performance environment with a clear long-term vision."

The Brumbies top the Super Rugby table and face the Queensland Reds at home on Saturday.
