After 16 rounds of regular season and a qualifying final, it's now time for the semifinals of the 2025 Super Rugby Pacific as the Chiefs take on the Brumbies this Saturday in Hamilton.
Regular season ladder-toppers and minor premiers, the Chiefs, were stunned by defending premiers Blues, in a narrow 19-20 loss during the qualifying final match.
Damian McKenzie had an opportunity to ice the game in the dying minutes with a penalty, but missed it. They now play an elimination final against the Brumbies.
On the other hand, the Brumbies secured their last four berth with a 35-28 win in the playoffs against the Hurricanes. Now, history isn't on their side during the semifinals at Hamilton - no Australian club has won a knockout game, played in New Zealand, in over 30 years of the competition.
Brumbies will need to rewrite history as they look to avoid their fourth straight exit in the semifinal stage.
