Unlike the Crusaders-Blues semi-final just 24 hours prior, this was a classic playoff match with both sides going hammer and tongs at one another with no quarter given. In the end, the New Zealanders came out on top, which is almost tradition now in the competition, with the Brumbies‘ loss to the Chiefs meaning that the Australian sides have failed to beat their Trans-Tasman rivals in their last 16 finals games. A one-try rugby match can often be described as a snooze-fest, and if you just took a peek at the scoresheet, one cannot be blamed for assuming this was no different with Retallick scoring the first five-pointer in the 78th minute, but that cannot be farther from the truth. Despite the testing conditions, both sides showed attacking endeavour and looked to put on an attacking show. Even in the slippery conditions, we had to wait 18 minutes for the first scrum of the match, and even the set-piece was an exciting battle.  Before the match, Brumbies captain Nic White said that his side was going to ‘throw the kitchen sink’ at the Chiefs and to their credit, they did, but that was not enough in the end.
