Brumbies

A red card to Len Ikitau couldn't stop them as they found a way to produce an incredible comeback to ensure Australian representation in the semi-finals.

It speaks to their depth when you can lose a Wallaby inside 20 and still find a way to get back into the contest and over the line, something which has become a hallmark of Dan McKellar's tenure as coach. The Brumbies were dominated physically early on but it was Hooper that lifted the intensity in defence and got them back into the contest. However, the Brumbies just had too much fight in them and found a way to get back into the contest when they returned to 15 men, powered on by the likes of Banks, Samu, Hooper and Lolesio. Len Ikitau was first to head off the field, red-carded for a tackle on Aidan Morgan that when looked at by the law book was a clear red card even if there were potential mitigating factors in Nic White dragging Morgan down and adding more force to the incident. They will need to find another gear to get past the Blues in Auckland but hopefully, they will be boosted by the return of Rob Valetini. A red card to Len Ikitau couldn't stop them as they found a way to produce an incredible comeback to ensure Australian representation in the semi-finals.
