The Brumbies have advanced to the Super Rugby Pacific semi-finals with a tense 35-28 win over the Hurricanes in a sudden-death clash at GIO Stadium in Canberra.
Despite missing a top-two finish, the Brumbies delivered a composed home performance marked by a double from hooker Billy Pollard and standout plays from Tom Wright, Andy Muirhead, and Allan Alaalatoa.
The Hurricanes opened scoring through Ruben Love and kept pressure on with further tries from Fehi Fineanganofo, Bailyn Sullivan, and Pasilio Tosi. But the Brumbies’ rolling maul dominance, late-game discipline, and key defensive plays — including a crucial intercept from Wright — proved decisive as they held firm under intense pressure to secure a semifinal date with the Chiefs.
