Three tries were disallowed for the Brumbies, Muirhead went over the line in the first half to score a brilliant try in the corner, Alaalatoa picks up the ball from the ruck but the try is disallowed for a knock on, Faingaa went over for a try after a rolling maul from 5m out, but the try was disallowed for obstruction. The Brumbies dominated the second half scoring three tries to secure a home final and a top of the log finish.
