And its off the post! Riaan Smit's late conversion hits the post to give the Brumbies the victory, as they advance to the semi finals to play the Bulls. Great game from both sides, but the extra muscle in the tight, especially at scrum time, was enough to see the Aussie side home. Commiserations to the Cheetahs, whose exciting brand of rugby just wasn't enough to see them over the line despite outscoring the Brumbies 2 tries to zero. Thanks for following with us on Ultimate Rugby, see you next time!

Cheetahs refuse to let the ball die, great flat pass from Pretorious to put Ryno Benjamin in in the corner. Kick to come to bring us to extra time.

Panic in the Brumbies defence, wide pass followed by a dink causes havoc, and Ryno Benjamin nearly stabs the ball through for a score. Nic White, having a great game cleans up.

Brumbies go so close, whipping the ball wide to Mowen, who attempts quickly shipping it on to Ben Alexander, but the ball goes forward. Still a scrum to come.
