The Brumbies have struggled when New Zealand sides bring their back three athletes into the game. The Highlanders’ back three scored four tries against the Brumbies in Canberra in round seven, and the Hurricanes obviously took some major lessons from that game.
The Brumbies couldn’t contain the Hurricanes’ big men out wide, with No.11 Kini Naholo, No.14 Ngantungane Punivai, No.13 Billy Proctor and No.15 Callum Harkin topping the run metres, in that order.
Corey Toole made six from 13 tackles, while Andy Muirhead completed six from 11. The Brumbies’ pair are classy footballers, but there is a reason why they have found Wallabies caps hard to come by.

By contrast, Western Force winger Harry Potter continued to enhance his reputation with another good display in the heavy loss to the Chiefs on Friday. While the game got away from the Force, Potter was a constant threat on the edge, scoring two tries and making three clean breaks.
At this stage, he’s a lock for the Wallabies squad because of his high skill level, versatility and sound decision-making. He’s also a reason why no one should rule out the Force’s bid for the play-offs, despite a tough next game against the Blues in Perth.
At their best, the Force can win all three remaining games after that – the Brumbies in Perth, the Drua in Fiji and the Waratahs in Perth.
The injury to Crusaders No.10 Taha Kemara during the big win over the Highlanders on Saturday means that the James O’Connor story has another twist. O’Connor, either in the No.10 jersey or off the bench, is now a pivotal figure in the competition for the rest of the campaign, with current form pointing to a Chiefs v Crusaders decider.
The Crusaders showed in Dunedin they are a well-oiled machine with everyone knowing their roles, and O’Connor will have to be considered for Wallabies selection if he can guide them to the title.
