The Hurricanes were unable to complete a perfect quarter-final weekend for Kiwi teams.
They negated the visitors' threat by taking better care of the ball and, playing with patience, ensured the game remained at the right end of the field.

A not-so-secret weapon had emerged early in the contest, with Barrett drilling long-range kicks including from inside his own half, but the All Black star stepped it up further with a divine cross-field kick finding fullback Josh Moorby to score in the corner for an 11-3 lead. The Brumbies had got on the board through a Lolesio penalty and showed intent with some big early hits but that proved a part of their undoing, with a Len Ikitau shoulder charge drilling Barrett and earning him a red card on 22 minutes. The Hurricanes had led 22-15 at the half after two tries and some lethal penalty kicking from Jordie Barrett, but a rare miss from the All Blacks star turned the contest on its head early in the second.

The Brumbies have banked a quarter-final win over the Hurricanes with a big second-half effort. Who were their best performers on the night?
Really came to life in the second half and took the game to Hurricanes with a physical and intelligent performance. Had a number of other impressive touches on the ball and was a genuine threat in possession. Solid performance and clearly a player of the future. Didnโt have it all his own way in defence but overall, a good night out for him. Bagged himself a try and was industrious in all facets of the game. Was guilty of a few poor mistakes but overall, a solid night for him. Akin to his locking partner, he delivered at the set-piece that again was a real weapon for his side. At a time when the game could have been taken away from the Brumbies, he never stopped working and epitomised everything the Brumbies stand for. Kept his head for most of the match and despite the early pressure, hung in there and delivered a sound performance. A solid effort around the park but fell off the odd tackle. Lead the way, especially defensively in the tighter channels. The home side were under early pressure after a number of infringements, with Hurricanes sharp-shooter Jordie Barrett capitalising via the boot, giving the visitors a lead going into the sheds at half-time.
