The ACT Brumbies have booked a Super Rugby Pacific semi-final berth with a gutsy 35-28 playoffs win over the Hurricanes at GIO Stadium.
In a clash that saw the lead change hands on multiple occasions, a Billy Pollard double, coupled with a prolific Brumbies forward pack, was enough to see off a spirited Hurricanes side on Saturday night.
The Brumbies will now travel across the Tasman, taking on the ladder-topping Chiefs in Hamilton next weekend for a place in the Grand Final.
