Brumbies Form

The Brumbies find themselves in somewhat of a predicament after a very good season to date. They are currently third on the table, one point off the Crusaders in second and three clear of the Blues in fourth.

However, should the Blues win the earlier game, the Brumbies will be in fourth place at the start of this game. After a magnificent season, the Brumbies have started to fade a bit, much like they did last season.

Two of their last four matches have ended in defeat, the most costly of which came last week when they went down 34-19 at the Western Force.

Chiefs Form

The Chiefs are cruising at the top of the table with 11 wins from their 12 fixtures. They are eight points clear of the Crusaders in second, and only need one result in their last two games to secure top spot.

The Hamilton-based outfit began the season with an incredible 10-game winning streak before suffering a major upset at home to the Reds. It didn’t however knock their confidence as the Chiefs bounced back last week to beat the Hurricanes 23-12 on home soil.
