Both the Chiefs and the Brumbies will be looking to build on a solid start to their Super Rugby campaign with a third victory of the season when they meet in New Zealand this evening. We’ll have live scores from the kick-off at 5.35pm AEDT.
With a cumulative winning margin of just three points the Brumbies wins might have been tight, but the fact is they are unbeaten.
They currently sit fourth on the Super Rugby table but after wins over two of the sides tipped to struggle this season they face a genuine contender tonight in the Chiefs.
After losing their opening Super Rugby encounter to the Highlanders, the Chiefs have bounced back strongly with credible wins over the Blues and Crusaders.
The combination of a blue-collar pack and some smooth backline operators in Cruden, Williams and Kahui seems to be working well for the Waikato outfit and they will view tonight’s match as a great opportunity to make it three consecutive wins.
Both sides come into this one relatively unscathed from injuries, with Hika Elliot the only unavailability for the home side, while Matt Toomua did not travel across the Tasman with the Australian side due to a knee injury.
Can the Brumbies grind out another victory or will the home side show that they mean business in the 2012 Super Rugby season? The Super Rugby round kicks off from 5.35pm AEDT and we’ll have up to date live scores throughout. If you’re watching or following along, don’t hesitate to give us your thoughts on the action below.
