The final score was 19-13 to Brumbies who will face Uitenhage Rugby Football Club in an away game at the Central Grounds.
"Kwaru put a lot of pressure on us, especially towards the end. But we defended well and during last week’s training camps we put alot of hard work especially in defence" says Brumbies manager Xanephen May.
He would also like to send a vote of thanks to Defence Coach Western du Plessis for tightening the team’s defence.
