Brumbies player ratings vs Chiefs | Super Rugby Pacific (RugbyPass)

The Brumbies have defied the odds and grabbed an important victory over the Chiefs in Hamilton. Who stood out for the victors on Saturday night?

Nice save on the line to pivot, spin and get back in the field of play in the 78th minute. On at 59 and conceded a penalty straight away at a maul. A smart interception in the 6th minute shut down a Chiefs attack and he smashed Narawa in the 64th. Like Muirhead, he spent a lot of time chasing kicks, especially in the 45th and 50th minutes. He added some thrust in midfield after some lateral movement that led to White’s try with a good pass to the left flank. He showed a potent mix of power and mobility, the 16th-minute scrum penalty that led to the Fainga’a try was a highlight for him, as well as brave claims for the loose ball on the ground in the 34th and 50th minutes. Muffed a try in the 14th minute, beaten by Bryn Gatland and a disobedient ball. Every one of his 15 hits was made with venom and even got back for a mark on the run in the 37th minute. Did a lot of work changing the point of attack around the breakdown, keeping the Chiefs guessing. A player who always needs to control his emotions but has matured well in the last year or two. A return to old stamping ground for the prop, having played 11 games for Waikato 2016 and being a Chiefs squad member in 2017. The senior starter in the front row got around like a colt making some good tackles, a team-topping 15 when he left the field, and giving Angus Ta’avao an uncomfortable time in the set-piece.

Brumbies prove the real deal by brushing past Chiefs (New Zealand Herald)

Having knocked over three Kiwi teams in succession, the Brumbies can be called contenders.

The manner of their fourth defeat is testament to that. The Brumbies deserved to turn 18-14 in front at halftime. The Chiefs had their moments. One offload set up midfield partner Alex Nankivell's sixth try of the season. In terms of the best teams in the competition, though, the Chiefs are not in the Brumbies' league. Chiefs backline directors Bryn Gatland and Kaleb Trask battled in the face of that pressure, with their exits not up to scratch.

"We'd spoken about the intensity we'd have to go up. It's very tough to come away and win." The Brumbies were clinging to an 18-14 lead after the two sides traded a pair of tries in an entertaining first half. They're an unbelievable side," White said. Really proud of that effort. All Blacks skipper Sam Cane hailed the Brumbies as "benchmarks" after his outclassed Chiefs succumbed 38-28 in a pivotal Super Rugby Pacific encounter in Hamilton.

Like elite athletes at their peak, our sports journalists are highly trained in the art of news. Brumbies captain Nic White steered his team expertly, box-kicking well and taking the right options all night. While they couldn’t score from the ensuing rolling maul, they soon after knocked over a penalty against Sam Cane at the ruck to make it a healthy 14-point advantage. So we're asking you to support us with more than your attention. It may have been four tries apiece, but the Brumbies were in control for the majority, despite being made to make 80 more tackles than the hosts. Nic White’s 50-22 kick 10 minutes into the second half.

It may have been four tries apiece, but the Brumbies were in control for the majority, despite being made to make 80 more tackles than the hosts. Needing something special, the Chiefs got just that near the hour-mark, when a close-range lineout resulted in a stunning try to a rampaging Pita Gus Sowakula, and all of a sudden the momentum made a switch towards the hosts. The visitors then shot out of the gates in the second stanza, winning an early turnover penalty then profiting with Wright sending Len Ikitau through a hole and all of a sudden the lead was 11.

Quinn Tupaea makes All Blacks claim after timely move back to the ... (Stuff.co.nz)

Thank goodness the Chiefs moved Quinn Tupaea back into the midfield against the Brumbies on Saturday night.

Like elite athletes at their peak, our sports journalists are highly trained in the art of news. So we're asking you to support us with more than your attention. Tupaea finished up with 38 metres on 11 carries, beating four defenders. Speaking of the Blues, they’ll get a shot at them in Canberra in a fortnight, but not before the Brumbies renew their rivalry with the Crusaders on Friday night. He also made nine tackles on a night the Chiefs lost to the Brumbies for the third time in four matches. Tupaea was one of the Chiefs’ best during their 38-28 loss to the Brumbies in Hamilton, with the only complaint being he didn’t receive enough touches in the second half.
