Brumbies survive five minutes on their line post-siren to pinch win

The ACT Brumbies will fly the Australian flag in the Super Rugby Pacific play-offs for another week after a controversial win against the Hurricanes in their quarter-final in Canberra. A sumptuous first half saw them lead 25-16 before copping 17 straight points to start the second half and falling behind 33-25 with just 20 minutes to play on Saturday night.

But a rolling maul try for flanker Luke Reimer before a brilliant run from full-back Tom Wright put them back in front before they survived five minutes on their line post-siren to pinch the 37-33 win.

The Hurricanes will feel hard done by, Ardie Savea diving over the line and attempting to ground the ball with the final play of the game, only to be denied on video review after inconclusive evidence to show successful grounding.

      The fringe All Blacks under pressure in the playofffs | The Breakdown

      Savea was convinced he had got it down and one angle looked to potentially show grounding, only for the referees to stick with the on-field call.

      No Australian team has progressed further in the competition than the Brumbies since 2018, and they will finally get the chance to exercise the demons of last season’s one-point semi-final loss to the Blues in New Zealand.

      They are off to NZ to battle the Chiefs in a semi-final in the biggest test in rugby, needing to avenge a 31-21 defeat from last month in Canberra. The Brumbies repeatedly rejected taking straightforward penalty goals while trailing 33-30 and their gambles paid off, Wright’s pace and strength seeing him beat the line and put his side in front.

      They had looked the goods early but were behind on the hour courtesy of a stunning try from Devan Flanders, the Hurricanes flanker picking up a loose ball and running 60m to score untouched.

      Territory was evenly split early but the Brumbies looked vicious anywhere near the try-line, their left-hand side slashing through for three first-half tries with centre Len Ikitau involved in two of them.

      He attacked the line and put winger Ollie Sapsford through first before powering over himself, Jack Debreczeni’s effort helping them to a 25-16 half-time lead.

      Kini Naholo had opened the scoring inside two minutes for the Hurricanes with a steady diet of Brett Cameron penalty goals keeping them within range at the break.

      They didn’t have a ruck inside the Brumbies’ 22m zone until the 48th minute, weaponry flanker Savea quickly scoring to tighten things up at 25-23.

      Five-eighth Debreczeni had his best game for the Brumbies to date and justified his selection in the starting side ahead of Wallabies prospect Noah Lolesio, repeatedly threatening the line and scoring a try to go with a strong kicking display.

      Brumbies were extremely lucky to get the decision I had thought that the ball was touching the ground at some point. But the ref sent it up as no try instead of saying try or no try, so the bunker went with the on field decision. Debreczeni was heaps better than Lolesio and should figure in Wallaby selection, He is a big body and does most everything really well, he defended well and controlled the game. He would be on my bench everyday in the wallabies side

      I'm not discussing the merits of the win, but yet again we witness the most erratic refereeing at this level.
      1st half, anyone remotely "offending" one of the many laws, even though having no material impact on play, was penalised.
      As the match progressed, strict enforcement was replaced with a more liberal approach. This from a referee who has attracted criticsm from Sth Africa recently and [some] Super teams have found it necessary to change broken play strategies to "manage" the refereeing.
      For anyone having a punt: back the team least likely to win when this man is in charge, or if bets are taken after the match begins, the winner, in a close match, will be obvious after 10 minutes.

      Blues lose All Black for season ahead of Hurricanes derby

      As a fitness coach, I’ve always taken pride in guiding and inspiring others not just in health, but in life. So when I came across what seemed like a promising crypto investment opportunity, I believed I was making a smart financial move. I even introduced it to a few of my students, thinking it could benefit them too.But everything came crashing down when I realized it was all a scam. I lost $16,000. The weight of that loss was more than financial, it was emotional. I felt ashamed, devastated, and completely powerless. Nights were sleepless, and the guilt of trusting the wrong people haunted me.In the midst of that dark time, I didn’t stop searching for a solution. And that’s when I stumbled upon Hack Savvy Tech . At first, I was skeptical that I had already been burned once. But something about their professionalism and the stories I read gave me hope.And I’m so glad I trusted them.Hack Savvy Tech didn’t just help me, they rescued me. They recovered every dollar I lost, and more than that, they restored my sense of security and peace of mind. Their team was transparent, understanding, and truly dedicated from start to finish.If you’ve been scammed, I know how hard it is. But don’t lose hope. Hack Savvy Tech is the real deal. They gave me a second chance and they can do the same for you.Telegram @hacksavvytechWebsite: https://hacksavvytechrecovery.comWhatsapp : +79998295038​

      Blues lose All Black for season ahead of Hurricanes derby

      This has been a very distressful week for me, after investing a humongous amount into Coinpro, a trading platform that promised luring returns, their 25% interest on each trading was quite an enticing deal so I opted to invest £207,700 expecting huge and profitable returns, unfortunately for me I realized little too late that it was the worst financial decision blunder that I had made after they started taking me round in circles once I realized I couldn’t access my funds.

      I became frustrated and anxious upon coming to accept that I could have possibly lost my life time investment. After days of struggling with my situation I soon realized I urgently needed professional help, so I dove down to research on how to recover lost my funds, it’s when I stumbled on several testimonials about LEE ULIMATE HACKER an APPROVED hacker in all recovery problems, I decided to contact them via Leeultimatehacker@aol.com & wh@tsapp +1 (715) 314 - 9248

      ASAP and I was soon welcomed by good customer service from one of their staff, who took me through the recovery process, I had lost all hope but they gave me hope and within a period of 12hours I was met with good news LEE ULTIMATE HACKER and his team were able to trace my funds, this quick turn around was just the good news that i deserved after that traumatic experience I had encountered of not being able to access my funds, but that was all water under the bridge after LEE ULTIMATE HACKER kept their word and within a few hours I was able to access and withdraw all my funds. Contact LEE ULTIMATE HACKER for all your recovery problems.
