Chiefs miss out on bonus-point win over Brumbies

Cape Town - The Chiefs have beaten the Brumbies in their Super Rugby clash at FMG Stadium in Waikato on Saturday.

As it happened: Chiefs v Brumbies

The Chiefs won 28-10 after leading 13-10 at half-time.

The Chiefs scored three tries through flyhalf Damian McKenzie, Solomona Alaimalo and Michael Leitch. McKenzie kicked 13 points for the New Zealand-side as he landed two conversions and kicked three penalties.

The Brumbies lone try came from Nigel Ah Wong while Wharenui Hawera kicked over the conversion and a penalty.

Both sides had already qualified for the quarter-finals but the Chiefs needed the bonus point.

The Chiefs now sit back and await the result of the Hurricanes v Crusaders match to see who they will play in the quarter-finals.

The team that emerges on top of the New Zealand Conference will play the Brumbies in Canberra next week, rather than enduring a draining trip to Cape Town to face the Stormers.

The Brumbies are guaranteed a home quarter-final next week after topping the Australian conference with just six wins.
