The Chiefs beat ACT Brumbies and will face the Crusaders in the Super Rugby final
- The Waikato Chiefs secured a spot in the Super Rugby Pacific final by winning 37-17 against the ACT Brumbies in a semi-final match held in Hamilton on Saturday.
- The Brumbies aimed to break a long streak without an Australian playoff win in New Zealand, where no side from Australia or South Africa has succeeded in 21 and 15 attempts respectively.
- The Chiefs played near-perfect rugby with Damian McKenzie kicking 22 points and setting up tries, while the Brumbies suffered from second-half accuracy and discipline problems, as noted by captain Allan Alaalatoa.
- Brumbies hooker Billy Pollard scored their opening try from a rolling maul, but the Chiefs responded strongly with two-half tries from Emoni Narawa and a late score assisted by McKenzie.
- Next week, the Chiefs will head to Christchurch to compete against the undefeated Canterbury Crusaders, who secured a 21-14 victory over the defending champions Auckland Blues, setting up the fourth straight all-New Zealand Super Rugby Pacific final.
