Dane Coles is on. First run since round 4. Immediately the Brumbies get in trouble for playing the jumper at the lineout. Bit of a soft one against Fardy. After some deliberation Jordie Barrett will take the shot at goal. Show of respect for the Brumbies defence.
Brumbies 16 – 12 Hurricanes

The Canes are throwing plenty at the Brums but defence holds. Lousi offloads neatly to Barrett who gives it to Riccitelli to get the steamroll going. Barrett grubbers through. Dargaville and Banks play a bit of footy behind their own tryline and clear into touch around the 22.

Powell goes foraging. The Brums are working well as a unit. Hawera kicks high but the chasers can’t get to Milner-Skudder. Dargaville cops a big hit from the reciprocal bomb. He spilt the ball just as Fifita was bearing down on him. Canes scrum.

Bit of chat at scrum time. Jackson wants it steady. The Brumbies are back on top with this one. It was a fair old battle but they eventually got the shove on. Relieving penalty.

The Canes look to maul but Rory Arnold tears it apart. That’s how you defend a maul. Brumbies scrum now in their own quarter.

Hawera clears now and the Canes take the lineout quickly. Dargaville is up to catch the high ball under pressure. He’s having a cracker. Now Carter is pinged for holding on. Perenara was pawing at him. You’re in bad shape if you can’t clear out a halfback. Hurricanes kick deep into the corner.

PEN GOAL! Brumbies
Hawera stands over the ball. He’s 35 out to the right. He’s got a good piece of this one. It’s over!

Real deflating blow for the Brumbies that. But they’re back into it. Dargaville has spiders on him. He’s carving through a swathe of Canes tacklers. Now they win a penalty. Hawera will point to the sticks.

TRY! Hurricanes
Laumape is caught behind the gain line this time. Ardie Savea goes looking for work. They’re on the 22. Patient phases. Now Savea thrashes through a few defenders. Milner-Skudder out wide in space but defence swarms. Canes still have it. Perenara whips a violent pass into the head of big Ben May. The ball flies over the defensive line like a pinpoint chip kick and Jordie Barrett pounces. Oof! Strange one that. But they’re back in it. Barrett adds the 2.

There are potent weapons everywhere for the Kiwis. Laumape is jinking through again. Perenara spreads to Barrett then Savea. Heavy defence on him from Banks and Kuridrani. Brumbies lineout. They’re patient as they look to clear. Hawera can only hoof it 20 metres into touch.
Brumbies 13 – 5 Hurricanes

Brums scrum 10 out from their own line. They start to go backwards and it’s knocked on at the back of the scrum. Sloppy work, held it in there too long. Now the Canes get another chance to attack.

Now the Canes get some front foot ball. Laumape looks to bust through. Now Abbott, it’s messy at the ruck. Perenara trips over initially then the Canes kncok on. Brumbies scrum. They mean business.

The Brumbies are full of beans. Hitting it up with purpose. Barrett bombs high but cant reclaim. The Brumbies spread it but are held up in the maul. Body height up too high. Sam Lousi wrapped it up. He’s a specialist at that. Canes scrum.

TRY! Brumbies
Hang on a minute. On the 1000th viewing, there’s a glimpse of Gilbert on grass. It’s a try for Josh Mann-Rea. The maul looks like the go-to play tonight. Hurricanes haven’t found an answer yet. Hawera hits the left upright this time. Can’t be leaving points out there in finals.

TMO DECISION
It’s maul time again. Legs are pumping. Surely they scored. We’re going upstairs to check. Referee Jackson reckons NO TRY, and he might have a point. Bodies everywhere.

Brumbies put together a good looking maul and get the advantage. Hawera grubbers through AGAIN…this is going to get tedious…but we come back for the penalty. Hold onto the pill fella. The Brumbies have the momentum and kick to touch.

The early tactic of ball in hand is working for the Brums. Hawera grubbers into touch to keep the pressure on. Canes lineout 22 out. Perenara box kicks high. Dargaville claims and finds Banks who slices through a hole. Then Smith jinks past Barrett. Hawera grubbers through again but Canes clear. Might want to hold onto it next time.

Hurricanes knock on from the restart under pressure from Kuridrani. Brumbies scrum in midfield. Let’s see who gets the upper hand. Brumbies crab around but they win the shove and a penalty. They point to the sticks. 40m out, right in front.

TRY! Hurricanes
Crikey! Long throw over the back of the lineout to winger Goosen. His left foot step breaks the ankles of Hawera, Powell and Dargaville in one sequence. He’s over untouched. Jordie Barrett sprays the conversion wide right.

The Brumbies are on a mission. They kick high to Milner-Skudder who claims. Now Lousi makes metres. Alcock wraps up Ardie Savea. There’s a penalty advantage. Scott Fardy wasn’t supporting his bodyweight at the ruck. Barrett kicks for touch 25 out.

Really good early phases from the home side. Quick recycle, tidy hands. Really good try.
Hawera lines up the conversion. It flirts with the right hand upright and rebounds off it.
