The ACT Brumbies delivered a commanding performance to beat the Highlanders 34-27 in their Super Rugby Pacific quarterfinal at GIO Stadium, maintaining their perfect home record in 2025.
After a competitive first half, where the Highlanders briefly led through penalty goals from Cameron Millar, the Brumbies took control with clinical set-piece execution and relentless defense. Tries from Andy Muirhead, Billy Pollard (twice), and Corey Toole, combined with accurate kicking from Noah Lolesio, secured a dominant win.
The Highlanders managed one consolation try through Jacob Ratumaitavuki-Kneepkens but were ultimately outclassed.
