Chiefs v Brumbies - Top Opta Facts
By RugbyPass
Due to the farcical nature of Super Rugby's conference system the Brumbies will qualify for the finals ahead of the Chiefs (as top seed from the Australian conference), even though the Chiefs are likely to pick up twice as many wins and an extra 24 competition points than their opponents.
Here's some more facts from Opta that cover the entire history of this fixture. It doesn't make good reading for the Brumbies.
- The Chiefs have won four of their last six games against the Brumbies, and will be looking for three victories in a row against the team from the Australian capital for the first time in Super Rugby history.
- The Chiefs have won each of their last four games when hosting the Brumbies, though they’ve allowed them a losing bonus point on each occasion.
- The Chiefs have won nine of their last 10 games against Australian opposition, and haven’t lost to an Australian team when playing at home since 2014.
- The Brumbies have lost on their last eight visits to New Zealand by an average margin of 15 points, last winning in Round 4, 2014 against the Hurricanes.
- The Canberra squad have been kept tryless in the opening half of three of their last six games, scoring only five tries in total across that span.

He doesn't generally do it at all, for anybody, so don't say too much the next one could be just as positive about the Springboks if you don't get carried away!
He also pointed out the "no killer instinct" narrative that they simply weren't good enough. Do yo disagree that SA were that great against NZ?
Readying the article I didn't even see that as a dig towards SA SF, simply an exciting take on how close the ABs really are again to those at the top. I feel it is more you that is taking away from this enjoyment with you replay that is largely based on a lot of old resentment.
Just enjoy how good the rugby is and that NZ is back baby!
Go to commentsAttack coach? What "attack"? All I saw was headless chooks pinballing around the paddock. This whole coaching group needs a shake-down. The BFs have regressed at pace since the Prof & Cronnie days.
We have immense talent, some of the best in world rugby, but it's wasted on this coaching group. I put Bunting in the same loser category as Penney & Foster. At this point in time, success at RWC2025 seems a longshot!?!
